C = r - p

add C to both sides of the equation

r = p + C

subtract p from both sides

r - p = C ⇒ C = r - p

Answer:


C=r-P

Explanation:


r-C=P

We need to solve the equation for variable C

To get C alone we need to remove 'r' from the left hand side

Subtract 'r' from both sides


r-C=P


r-r-C=-r+P


-C=-r+P

Now divide both sides by -1 to get C alone


C=r-P

C is alone, It is solved for C
