At least in this case, just use Simplify.

Solve[Rr/s == Rr + x, x][[1]] // Simplify

{x -> Rr*(1/s - 1)}

=============
Dear Group-

How can one get rid of the minus sign in:

In:
Factor[Solve[Rr/s == Rr + x, x]]

Out:
{{x -> -((Rr (-1 + s))/s)}}

We'd like Mathematica to provide answers with the minus sign
"multiplied through" (remove Factor[] doesn't solve the problem)

Thank you in advance all.
