It’s literally not possible to answer, p+5 is = p+6 but we don’t know whatever p equals cannot be equal to +5 and +6.

Answer:

no solution

Explanation:

Given

p + 5 = p + 6 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

p = p + 1 ( subtract p from both sides )

0 = 1 ← not possible

Because it makes no sense the equation has no solution
