I assume you mean x = (p-q) / pq. Follow the following steps:
Multiply both sides of the equation by pq:
So, pqx = p-q
Then, Add q to both sides of the equation:
pqx + q = p
Factorise the left hand side:
q(px + 1) = p
Now, divide both sides of the equation by (px + 1) to give you the answer:
q = p / (px + 1)...Ta daaaah!

x = (p - q) / pq
pqx = p - q
pqx + q = p
q (px + 1) = p
q = p/(px +1)

x=(p-q)/pq
=p/(pq)-q/(pq)
=1/q-1/p
1/q=x+1/p
=(px+1)/p
>>>q=p/(px+1) as required
i hope that this helps

xpq=p-q
xpq =q=p
2q=p/xp

q= -x+p
