Let's solve the inequality step by step. The original inequality is:

\[ -7p - 3 + 8p \leq 8 \]

First, let's combine like terms on the left side:

\[ (-7p + 8p) - 3 \leq 8 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ p - 3 \leq 8 \]

Next, we can isolate \(p\) by adding 3 to both sides:

\[ p \leq 8 + 3 \]

Which simplifies to:

\[ p \leq 11 \]

Now, writing this in the format requested:

The solution is \(p\) less than or equals \(11\).

So the final answer can be expressed as:

\[ p \leq 11 \]
