The system of equations are 7x+(p8)y+9=0 and 1x+(p+1)y+1=0. Find the value of \(p\) if the system of equations has a unique solution.
 
The equations have a unique solution for all real numbers except \(p =\)
 
(Note: If the answer is a whole number, mention as it is. If not, round off the answer and submit it as a whole number.)
