Answer:

the equation has one solution, p = 1/4

Explanation:

8p + 1 = 4p + 2

subtract 4p from both sides of the equation

8p - 4p + 1 = 4p - 4p + 2

8p - 4p + 1 = 2

4p + 1 = 2

subtract 1 from both sides of the equation

4p + 1 - 1 = 2 - 1

4p = 2 - 1

4p = 1

divide both sides of the equation by 4

4p/4 = 1/4

p = 1/4
