To rearrange the equation dS/dt = (n-x-rS)(L-1) to solve for t, separate the variables and integrate. The integration involves the left side being ∫(dS/(n-x-rS)) and the right side as ∫(L-1) dt. This process allows for the determination of t in terms of S and other variables. The integration will yield an expression that can be manipulated to isolate t. This method provides a systematic approach to solving the differential equation.

Hello,

I have been given a general equation that is dS/dt = (n-x-rS)(L-1)
and it needs to be rearranged in order to for the subject to be t.

I have spent a while trying to find a way to attempt this but with no luck
so I will leave this here.

Thanking You,
BSLAHi

Hello BSLAHi.

You can separate the variables and integrate.
$$\frac{\mathrm dS}{\mathrm dt}\ =\ (n-x-rS)(L-1)$$
$\displaystyle\implies\ \int\frac{\mathrm dS}{n-x-rS}\ =\ \int(L-1)\,\mathrm dt$.
