Answer:


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

Explanation:

We are given the formula:


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

And we are asked to make r the subject of the formula.

We can multiply both sides by r - 3. This reduces the denominator on the right-hand side:


t(r-3)=r

Distribute:


rt-3t=r

Subtracting rt from both sides yields:


-3t=r-rt

Factoring:


-3t=r(1-t)

Divide and simplify:


\displaystyle \begin{aligned} r & = (-3t)/(1-t) \\ \\ & = (3t)/(t-1)\end{aligned}

In conclusion:


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