Thread: How would you rearrange the following equation?

0 = PR^n - Q(R^n)-1)/R-1

It needs to equal P. It's part of a modeling and problem solving question, I'm right with everything after the rearranging. Thank you.

1. Move the quotient to the other side of the equation:



and then divide by

Thank you very much. I knew it was simple algebra that was holding me back.
