Answer:

-k-h/r-s

When solving the goal is to get x on one side and not x on the other.

rx + h = sx - k

rx - sx + h = -k <------- subtract sx from both sides

rx - sx = -k - h <-------subtract h from both sides

x (r - s) = -k -h <------factor out x which is in both rx and sx

x = - k - h / r - s <-------divide by r-s on both sides
