225r=240s+1
Variable r cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 240r, the least common multiple of 16,r,240r.
\frac{225r}{225}=\frac{240s+1}{225}
Divide both sides by 225.
r=\frac{240s+1}{225}
Dividing by 225 undoes the multiplication by 225.
r=\frac{16s}{15}+\frac{1}{225}
Divide 240s+1 by 225.
r=\frac{16s}{15}+\frac{1}{225}\text{, }r\neq 0
Variable r cannot be equal to 0.
225r=240s+1
Multiply both sides of the equation by 240r, the least common multiple of 16,r,240r.
240s+1=225r
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
240s=225r-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\frac{240s}{240}=\frac{225r-1}{240}
Divide both sides by 240.
s=\frac{225r-1}{240}
Dividing by 240 undoes the multiplication by 240.
s=\frac{15r}{16}-\frac{1}{240}
Divide 225r-1 by 240.
