To solve for t, undo everything that was done to produce the given equation. Think of t as being wrapped inside an expression. How do you unwrap it? Whatever you do, you must do the same to BOTH sides of the equation.

m%281%2Fp%29=%281%2Fp%29p%281%2Brt%29
m%2Fp=1%2A%281-rt%29=1-rt
m%2Fp-1=-rt
%28m%2Fp-1%29%28-1%2Fr%29=-rt%28-1%2Fr%29
%281-m%2Fp%29%2Fr=-r%28-1%2Fr%29t
%281-m%2Fp%29%2Fr=%28-1%29%28-1%29%28r%2Fr%29t
%281-m%2Fp%29%2Fr=1%2A1%2At

m=p(1+rt)
solve for t


m = p(1 + rt)

m%2Fp+=+1+%2B+rt

m%2Fp+-+1+=+rt
