No solutions: #-1!=-4#

We can start by simplifying the terms on the left to get

#7p-1=7p-4#

We will just be subtracting #7p# from both sides, or at this point we can essentially cancel them.

We're left with

#-1=-4#

Which is obviously not true, thus this equation has no solutions.

Hope this helps!
