Upper Q equals Upper R plus Rst for s

Answer 1

To solve for \( s \) in the equation \( Q = R + R s \), follow these algebraic steps:

1. Start with the equation: \[ Q = R + R s \]

2. Isolate the term containing \( s \) by subtracting \( R \) from both sides: \[ Q - R = R s \]

3. Now, to solve for \( s \), divide both sides by \( R \) (assuming \( R \neq 0 \)): \[ s = \frac{Q - R}{R} \]

Now you have \( s \) isolated: \[ s = \frac{Q - R}{R} \]
