r\left(-p+3\right)=4p+2
Variable p cannot be equal to 3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -p+3.
-rp+3r=4p+2
Use the distributive property to multiply r by -p+3.
-rp+3r-4p=2
Subtract 4p from both sides.
-rp-4p=2-3r
Subtract 3r from both sides.
\left(-r-4\right)p=2-3r
Combine all terms containing p.
\frac{\left(-r-4\right)p}{-r-4}=\frac{2-3r}{-r-4}
Divide both sides by -r-4.
p=\frac{2-3r}{-r-4}
Dividing by -r-4 undoes the multiplication by -r-4.
p=-\frac{2-3r}{r+4}
Divide 2-3r by -r-4.
p=-\frac{2-3r}{r+4}\text{, }p\neq 3
Variable p cannot be equal to 3.
