Answer

The solutions are $p=-\frac{7}{3}$, $p=\frac{7}{3}$ and $p=-8$.

Work Step by Step

Given: $(3p+7)(3p-7)(p+8)=0$ Using zero-product property, we have $3p+7=0$ or $3p-7=0$ or $p+8=0$. Solving for $p$, we have $p=-\frac{7}{3}$ or $p=\frac{7}{3}$ or $p=-8$. The solutions are $p=-\frac{7}{3}$, $p=\frac{7}{3}$ and $p=-8$.
