pp+pq=q+p\times 2
Multiply both sides of the equation by p.
p^{2}+pq=q+p\times 2
Multiply p and p to get p^{2}.
p^{2}+pq-q=p\times 2
Subtract q from both sides.
pq-q=p\times 2-p^{2}
Subtract p^{2} from both sides.
\left(p-1\right)q=p\times 2-p^{2}
Combine all terms containing q.
\left(p-1\right)q=2p-p^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(p-1\right)q}{p-1}=\frac{p\left(2-p\right)}{p-1}
Divide both sides by p-1.
q=\frac{p\left(2-p\right)}{p-1}
Dividing by p-1 undoes the multiplication by p-1.
