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