%28p%5E6%2Ap%29%2F%28p%5E%28-2%29%29+=+p%5E%28-9%29


%28p%5E6%2Ap%5E1%29%2F%28p%5E%28-2%29%29+=+p%5E%28-9%29


%28p%5E%286%2B1%29%29%2F%28p%5E%28-2%29%29+=+p%5E%28-9%29


%28p%5E7%29%2F%28p%5E%28-2%29%29+=+p%5E%28-9%29


p%5E7%2Ap%5E2+=+p%5E%28-9%29


p%5E%287%2B2%29+=+p%5E%28-9%29


p%5E9+=+p%5E%28-9%29


The last equation is false, so the first equation is false.
