Solution Steps

Step 1: Solve the equation for \( p \)

We start with the equation: \[ 2p + 9 = 4p - 13 \]

Subtract \( 2p \) from both sides to isolate the terms involving \( p \): \[ 9 = 2p - 13 \]

Step 2: Solve for \( p \)

Add \( 13 \) to both sides to isolate the term with \( p \): \[ 22 = 2p \]

Divide both sides by \( 2 \) to solve for \( p \): \[ p = 11 \]

Step 3: Check the solution set

The solution set \( S \) is given as \( \{-11, 0, 11, 22\} \). From the calculation above, we find that \( p = 11 \) is the solution that satisfies the equation.

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{11} \]
