rp-q=sr
Multiply both sides of the equation by r.
rp=sr+q
Add q to both sides.
rp=q+rs
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{rp}{r}=\frac{q+rs}{r}
Divide both sides by r.
p=\frac{q+rs}{r}
Dividing by r undoes the multiplication by r.
p=s+\frac{q}{r}
Divide q+rs by r.
rp-q=sr
Multiply both sides of the equation by r.
-q=sr-rp
Subtract rp from both sides.
-q=rs-pr
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-q}{-1}=\frac{r\left(s-p\right)}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
q=\frac{r\left(s-p\right)}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
q=pr-rs
Divide r\left(s-p\right) by -1.
