P=R\times \frac{1-2^{-n}}{1}
Add 1 and 1 to get 2.
P=R\left(1-2^{-n}\right)
Anything divided by one gives itself.
R\left(1-2^{-n}\right)=P
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
R-R\times 2^{-n}=P
Use the distributive property to multiply R by 1-2^{-n}.
\left(1-2^{-n}\right)R=P
Combine all terms containing R.
\left(-\frac{1}{2^{n}}+1\right)R=P
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-\frac{1}{2^{n}}+1\right)R}{-\frac{1}{2^{n}}+1}=\frac{P}{-\frac{1}{2^{n}}+1}
Divide both sides by 1-2^{-n}.
R=\frac{P}{-\frac{1}{2^{n}}+1}
Dividing by 1-2^{-n} undoes the multiplication by 1-2^{-n}.
R=\frac{P\times 2^{n}}{2^{n}-1}
Divide P by 1-2^{-n}.
