For this case we have the following equation:


s = \frac {2x + t} {r}

We must clear the value of the variable "x" as a function of r, s and t:

If we multiply by "r" on both sides of the equation we have:


rs =2x + t

If we subtract "t" on both sides of the equation we have:


rs-t = 2x

If we divide by "2" on both sides of the equation we have:


x = \frac {rs-t} {2}

Thus, the value of the variable "x" is:


x = \frac {rs-t} {2}

Answer:


x = \frac {rs-t} {2}
