Answer:


\displaystyle r=(3t)/(t-1)

Explanation:

Equation Solving

It's given the equation:


\displaystyle t=(r)/(r-3)

It's asked to make r the subject of the equation. We'll proceed as follows.

Multiply by r-3 to eliminate denominators:


\displaystyle t(r-3)=r

Operate the parentheses:


\displaystyle tr-3t=r

Subtract r:


\displaystyle tr-r-3t=0

Add 3t:


\displaystyle tr-r=3t

Take out r as a common factor:


\displaystyle r(t-1)=3t

Divide by t-1:


\boxed{\displaystyle r=(3t)/(t-1)}
