V_{0}R_{1}=\left(V_{2}-V_{1}\right)R_{2}
Variable R_{1} cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by R_{1}.
V_{0}R_{1}=V_{2}R_{2}-V_{1}R_{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply V_{2}-V_{1} by R_{2}.
V_{0}R_{1}=R_{2}V_{2}-R_{2}V_{1}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{V_{0}R_{1}}{V_{0}}=\frac{R_{2}\left(V_{2}-V_{1}\right)}{V_{0}}
Divide both sides by V_{0}.
R_{1}=\frac{R_{2}\left(V_{2}-V_{1}\right)}{V_{0}}
Dividing by V_{0} undoes the multiplication by V_{0}.
R_{1}=\frac{R_{2}\left(V_{2}-V_{1}\right)}{V_{0}}\text{, }R_{1}\neq 0
Variable R_{1} cannot be equal to 0.
V_{0}R_{1}=\left(V_{2}-V_{1}\right)R_{2}
Multiply both sides of the equation by R_{1}.
V_{0}R_{1}=V_{2}R_{2}-V_{1}R_{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply V_{2}-V_{1} by R_{2}.
V_{2}R_{2}-V_{1}R_{2}=V_{0}R_{1}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(V_{2}-V_{1}\right)R_{2}=V_{0}R_{1}
Combine all terms containing R_{2}.
\left(V_{2}-V_{1}\right)R_{2}=R_{1}V_{0}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(V_{2}-V_{1}\right)R_{2}}{V_{2}-V_{1}}=\frac{R_{1}V_{0}}{V_{2}-V_{1}}
Divide both sides by V_{2}-V_{1}.
R_{2}=\frac{R_{1}V_{0}}{V_{2}-V_{1}}
Dividing by V_{2}-V_{1} undoes the multiplication by V_{2}-V_{1}.
