Answer:
y=(x)/(p+q)

Explanation:

Given the following equation provided in the exercise:


yp+yq=x

You can follow these steps in order to solve the equation for the variable "y":

1. You must factor the left side of the equation by taking Common factor:


y(p+q)=x

2. Finally, you need to divide both sides of the equation by
p+q. Then, you get:


(y(p+q))/((p+q))=(x)/((p+q))\\\\y=(x)/(p+q)
