Answer: p = 6


Step-by-step explanation:

HI !


 px + 3y - ( p-3)=0


a₁ = p , b₁ = 3 , c₁ = - (p-3)


=====================


12x + py - p=0


a₂ = 12  , b₂ = p , c₂ = -p


since , the equations have infinite solutions , 


a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ = c₁/c₂


p/12 = 3/p =  p-3/p



--------------------------------------


p/12 = 3/p


cross multiply ,


p² = 36


p = √36

 p = 6


for the value of p = 6 , the equations will have infinitely many solutions
