    Answer:Simplifying

    2p + - 7 = 13 + - 8p

    Reorder the terms:

    -7 + 2p = 13 + - 8p

    Solving

    -7 + 2p = 13 + - 8p

    Solving for variable 'p'.

    Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

    Add '8p' to each side of the equation.

    -7 + 2p + 8p = 13 + - 8p + 8p

    Combine like terms: 2p + 8p = 10p

    -7 + 10p = 13 + - 8p + 8p

    Combine like terms: - 8p + 8p = 0

    -7 + 10p = 13 + 0

    -7 + 10p = 13

    Add '7' to each side of the equation.

    -7 + 7 + 10p = 13 + 7

    Combine like terms: - 7 + 7 = 0

    0 + 10p = 13 + 7

    10p = 13 + 7

    Combine like terms: 13 + 7 = 20

    10p = 20

    Divide each side by '10'.

    p = 2

    Simplifying

    p = 2
