x^{2}+px-9p-1=0
To find the opposite of 9p+1, find the opposite of each term.
px-9p-1=-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
px-9p=-x^{2}+1
Add 1 to both sides.
\left(x-9\right)p=-x^{2}+1
Combine all terms containing p.
\left(x-9\right)p=1-x^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(x-9\right)p}{x-9}=\frac{1-x^{2}}{x-9}
Divide both sides by x-9.
p=\frac{1-x^{2}}{x-9}
Dividing by x-9 undoes the multiplication by x-9.
