#P=-9#

To solve for P, first we must get rid of the denominator in #P/9#

To do this, we multiply both sides of the equation by 9

#9(6+P/9) = 9(5)#

#54 + P = 45#

Then we subtract 54 from both sides to isolate P

#P = -9#

And there's the answer.

#P=-9#

To find the value of #P#, simply isolate it.

Subtract 6 on both sides, we get

#P/9=-1#

Multiply both sides by 9

#P=-9#
