Answer:

p = all real numbers

Explanation:

First distribute the numbers to the expressions inside the parenthesis

-11 + 10(p + 1) = -16 + 5(2p + 3)

-11 + 10p + 10 = -16 + 10p + 15

Then, add up the like terms

10p - 1 = 10p - 1

Add one to both sides

10p - 1 = 10p - 1

+ 1 + 1

10p = 10p

Divide both sides by 10

10p/10 = 10p/10

p = p

This means that no matter what you plug in for p, it will always be true.
