Q=P+Prt
Use the distributive property to multiply P by 1+rt.
P+Prt=Q
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(1+rt\right)P=Q
Combine all terms containing P.
\left(rt+1\right)P=Q
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(rt+1\right)P}{rt+1}=\frac{Q}{rt+1}
Divide both sides by 1+rt.
P=\frac{Q}{rt+1}
Dividing by 1+rt undoes the multiplication by 1+rt.
