As written, your "p" cancel out.

Presuming you really mean:

v = 100(1 - pq) / (p + q)

To solve this for p, first I'll multiply both sides by the denominator then expand both sides:

v(p + q) = 100(1 - pq)
pv + qv = 100 - 100pq

Now move any term with "p" in it to the left side and all other terms to the right:

pv + 100pq = 100 - qv

Now we can factor out the p:

p(v + 100q) = 100 - qv

And divide both sides by (v + 100q):

p = (100 - qv) / (v + 100q)...Show more
