Solve for P

I cannot tell if the P belongs in the denominator or if P is being multiplied by the entire fraction, so I will solve this based on both scenarios.

If the P is part of the denominator, solving for P will go as follows:

1. Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:

N - 1 = 2/9P + 1 - 1 -----> N - 1 = 2/9P

2. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9P ----->

3. Divide both sides of the equation by 9(N - 1) ----->

If P is being multiplied by 2/9 and is not part of the denominator:

1. Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation:

N - 1 = (2/9)P + 1 - 1 -----> N - 1 = (2/9)P

2. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9 -----> 9(N - 1) = 2P

3. Divide both sides of the equation by 2 ----->
