The language appears to be Tagalog, which I don't read, but
<dapat> is 'must, ought', <ang sagot> is 'the solution',
<ay> is the copula ('to be'), and <tapos> might be 'correct'
(if it's related to <tapat> 'faithful, honest'), so I'm
guessing that this says roughly 'the correct solution is
supposed to be g = rs/s - r' and that this post is a request
for explanations of the solutions.

The problem cannot be solved as it is written here; I think
that some parentheses have been omitted, and that the
original equation should read r = gs/(g + s), with 
g = rs/(s - r) as the answer.

Multiply both sides of the equation by g + s:

   r(g + s) = gs
   
Multiply out the left-hand side:

   rg + rs = gs
   
Subtract rg from both sides to get all instances of g on the
same side of the equation:

   rs = gs - rg = gs - gr
   
Factor out g:

   rs = g(s - r)
   
Divide both sides by s - r:

   rs/(s - r) = g.

> p = mn/t - rn

The answer is missing parentheses: it should be 
p = mn/(t - rn).

Subtract rn from both sides of the equation:

   t - rn = mn/p
   
Multiply both sides by p:

   p(t - rn) = mn
   
Divide both sides by t - rn:

   p = mn/(t - rn)

The original equation should be ab/c - 1/(2m) = 0, and the
answer should be m = c/(2ab).

Start by adding 1/(2m) to both sides of the equation:

   ab/c = 1/(2m)
   
Multiply both sides by m to get it out of the denominator:

   abm/c = 1/2
   
Multiply both sides by c:

   abm = c/2
   
Divide both sides by ab:

   m = c/(2ab).
