Explanation:

p=n+ 2/d

Multiply both sides of the equation by d.

pd=dn+2

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

dn+2=pd

Subtract 2 from both sides.

dn=pd−2

The equation is in standard form.

dn=dp−2

Divide both sides by d.

dn = dp−2/d

Dividing by d undoes the multiplication by d.

n= dp−2/d

Divide pd−2 by d.

n=(p−2)/d
