.
1%2Fs%2B1%2Fp=1%2Fg Find common denominator on left.
.
%281%2Fs%29%28p%2Fp%29%2B%281%2Fp%29%28s%2Fs%29=1%2Fg
.
p%2Fps%2Bs%2Fps=1%2Fg Add like terms on left.
.
%28p%2Bs%29%2Fps=1%2Fg Multiply both sides by (gps).(or cross-multiply)
.
g%28p%2Bs%29=ps Divide each side by (p+s).
.
g=%28ps%29%2F%28p%2Bs%29
