Answer

$R=\dfrac{E-Ir}{I}$

Work Step by Step

By multiplying both sides by the $LCD= R+r $, the given equation, $ I=\dfrac{E}{R+r} ,$ is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} I(R+r)=E .\end{array} Using the properties of equality, then, in terms of $ R ,$ the equation above is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} IR+Ir=E \\\\ IR=E-Ir \\\\ R=\dfrac{E-Ir}{I} .\end{array}
