We want to know how many solution the equation below has;

Firstly, divide both side by 4, we have;

$\begin{gathered} (4|p|)/(4)=(0)/(4) \\ |p|=0 \end{gathered}$

Recall that ;

$|p|=\pm p$

So;

$\begin{gathered} \pm p=0 \\ p=\pm0 \\ p=0 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the equation has only one solution, which is;
