Final answer:

The expression 5p - 11p + 11 simplifies to -6p + 11 and is not a quadratic equation, thus the Quadratic formula does not apply. Solving -6p + 11 = 0 gives us p = 11/6, which is not one of the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The provided expression, 5p - 11p + 11, is actually a linear equation, not a quadratic equation.

Therefore, the Quadratic formula is not applicable here.

First, we need to simplify the equation to find the value of p.

After simplifying, we get -6p + 11.

To find the value of p, we set the expression equal to zero: -6p + 11 = 0.

After solving this equation, we find that p = 11/6.

Since the original question seems to be mistaken about the type of equation, no option provided (a) -11, (b) 0, (c) 11, or (d) 16 is a correct answer.
