Solve the inequality and write the answer in interval notation. Every time I work this problem I always get 0 < 75 and that's not right. (See attached picture)

You're not making any mistakes as that's what I'm getting as well. The variable terms will cancel. Since 0 < 75 is ALWAYS true, this means that the original inequality is true for any value of 'p'. So there are an infinite number of solutions.

So is it (-inf, +inf) ?

yep, that's one way to state the solution set
