You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I am not quite sure what you have:
this
1. 4%2F5q%2Br=r%2Bn
or
2. 4%2F%285q%2Br%29=r%2Bn

if you have 1. 4%2F5q%2Br=r%2Bn, then
4%2F5q=r-r%2Bn
4%2F5q=n
4=5nq
highlight%28q=4%2F%285n%29%29

but, if you have 2. 4%2F%285q%2Br%29=r%2Bn, then
4=%28r%2Bn%29%285q%2Br%29
4%2F%28r%2Bn%29=5q%2Br
4%2F%28r%2Bn%29-r=5q
highlight%28q=4%2F5%28r%2Bn%29-r%2F5%29
