Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the following algebraic equation:


sx\text{ + tx = r}

Applying a common factor on the left side of the equation, we get:


x(s+t)=r

finally, solving for x, we obtain:


x\text{ =}(r)/(s+t)

we can conclude that the correct answer is:

Answer:
x\text{ =}(r)/(s+t)
