$P = \frac{Q}{x + m t}$ $color(green)(P=Q / ( x +mt)$

$Q = P x + P m t$ $Q = color(green)(P)x + color(green)(P)mt$

$P$ $color(green)(P$ is common to both terms of the L.H.S:

$Q = P (x + m t)$ $Q = color(green)(P) ( x +mt)$

$\frac{Q}{x + m t} = P$ $Q / ( x +mt) = color(green)(P)$

$P = \frac{Q}{x + m t}$ $color(green)(P) =Q / ( x +mt)$
