L=PM+M+PS
Use the distributive property to multiply P+1 by M.
PM+M+PS=L
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
PM+M=L-PS
Subtract PS from both sides.
\left(P+1\right)M=L-PS
Combine all terms containing M.
\frac{\left(P+1\right)M}{P+1}=\frac{L-PS}{P+1}
Divide both sides by P+1.
M=\frac{L-PS}{P+1}
Dividing by P+1 undoes the multiplication by P+1.
