Given the functions:

f(x) = px + 2

g(x) = 4x - 3

It's required to find the values of p for which

(f.g)(x) = (g.f)(x)

The multiplication of functions is a commutative operation which means f.g is always equal to g.f regardless of the value of p.

The condition stated in the question requires to solve the equation:

(px + 2)(4x - 3) = (px + 2)(4x - 3)

This equation is always true, no matter what value of p we use.

Answer: p can have any value, the condition will always be met.
