    The basic thing you have to remember for questions like this is that what you do to one side of the equation, you must also do to the other side. You want to get x on it's own, so look at the part of the equation with x in it and work out what you need to do to make it just x. You should be able to see that adding p will cancel the p that is already there, giving you what you want. Therefore you must also add p to the other side of the equation, giving you:

    x=ry+c+p

    x=p+ry+c

    you just add the p to the other side.
