The question of what I've worked it out so far, the original is the top, and my teacher said to move the 3r to the other side which I did but I don't know what to do next and it's faster to get help on here because it could be hours before my teacher replies.

will.h · Answer

to get this clear you wanna solve for 
p  = 3r + 2s solve for s?

gracygirl · Answer

Yup

will.h · Answer

fantastic. you made a mistake at the 1st step you should've subtracted 3r from both sides instead of 2s

gracygirl · Answer

Oh true that >.<

will.h · Answer

like the following 
p - 3r = 2s
and now divide both sides on 2
$$\frac{ p-3r }{ 2 } = s$$
