mx-r=x^{2}-x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
mx=x^{2}-x+r
Add r to both sides.
xm=x^{2}-x+r
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xm}{x}=\frac{x^{2}-x+r}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
m=\frac{x^{2}-x+r}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
m=x+\frac{r}{x}-1
Divide x^{2}-x+r by x.
mx-r=x^{2}-x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-r=x^{2}-x-mx
Subtract mx from both sides.
-r=x^{2}-mx-x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-r}{-1}=\frac{x\left(x-m-1\right)}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
r=\frac{x\left(x-m-1\right)}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
r=x+mx-x^{2}
Divide x\left(-1+x-m\right) by -1.
