y\left(x+r\right)=x^{2}+px-4
Multiply both sides of the equation by x+r.
yx+yr=x^{2}+px-4
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x+r.
x^{2}+px-4=yx+yr
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
px-4=yx+yr-x^{2}
Subtract x^{2} from both sides.
px=yx+yr-x^{2}+4
Add 4 to both sides.
xp=4+ry+xy-x^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xp}{x}=\frac{4+ry+xy-x^{2}}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
p=\frac{4+ry+xy-x^{2}}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
p=\frac{ry+4}{x}+y-x
Divide yx+yr-x^{2}+4 by x.
