To solve the equation \(-7p - 6 + 6p = 2p + 9\), we can start by combining like terms on the left side:
\[ -7p + 6p - 6 = 2p + 9 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ -p - 6 = 2p + 9 \]
Next, we'll add \(p\) to both sides to move all \(p\) terms to one side:
\[ -p + p - 6 = 2p + p + 9 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ -6 = 3p + 9 \]
Now we will isolate the \(p\) term by subtracting 9 from both sides:
\[ -6 - 9 = 3p \]
This gives us:
\[ -15 = 3p \]
Now, divide both sides by 3 to solve for \(p\):
\[ p = \frac{-15}{3} \]
Simplifying gives:
\[ p = -5 \]
Thus, the solution for \(p\) is:
\[ \boxed{-5} \]
