The answer is IMS,Infinite Many Solutions, because you have to do 7 (P + 3), which gives you 7p + 21. The on the other side you have to subtract 8p - p and that is 7p. So the equation would look like 7p + 21 = 7p + 21. IMS

8p + 21 - p = 7(p + 3)

Simplify the right side of our equation.

8p + 21 - p = 7p + 21

Add your like terms.

7p + 21 = 7p + 21

Subtract 21 from both sides.

7p = 7p

Divide 7 from both sides.

p = p

Therefore, there are an infinite amount of solutions :)

~Hope I helped!~
