Okay thanks got it!
We haven't touched on Thevenin Equivalent Circuits, we were just going through a section with series and parallel circuits and learning about the DC current, voltage and resistance measurements with digital voltmeters.
The textbook I got this equation from doesn't have a bracket around (Rs+Rm), the equation is derived from:
Er= Vm-Vx/Vx *100% -the percentage relative loading error associated with the measured voltage
Vm=Vx(Rm/Rm+Rs) - from voltage divider equation
Rs= Source Resistance
Rm= Meter Resistance...
