Risk to Reward Formula-Finding Reward

[cc4digital2]

Good evening. My brain and algebra have failed me. I know this is simple, but for some reason, I can not get it to work.

So the risk to reward calculation is--
(Expected Target-Entry)/(Entry-Expected Loss)=Ratio
eg. Expected Target=X Expected Loss=100 Entry=100 Ratio = 2
X=130

I am trying to produce a formula that will find X when I give Expected Loss, Entry, and Ratio

Appreciate the help on this one. I know I am missing something simple here.

Here the formula in algebra:

(T - E)
--------- = R
(E - R)

Need to solve for T

sorry about the above it is not right. I have two R's I tried to delete the post but do not see a way to do that. So here it is again

(T - E)
------- = M
(E - R)

maybe T = M*(E-R)+E

Thanks, Sandy, I just got it, too. It has been a long time since I have worked with algebra. I had forgotten about cross multiplying.

Thanks again. Have a nice night
