Can I Rearrange This Equation? I'm not the best at math, and I'm trying to build an equation for an Excel/Sheets file.
Here's my equation:
$E=(A*B)+((D*B)*C)$
Is it possible to move the $B$ variable to be by itself on the left side of the equation?
I'm at my wits' end trying to figure this out, any help is greatly appreciated!
Elaborating on Gerry Myerson's suggestion, you have successively, using commutativity, associativity and distributivity,
$$
E=(A*B)+((D*B)*C) = (B*A)+(B*C*D) = B*(A+(C*D))
$$
Now, if $A + (C*D)$ is not null, you can write $B = E/(A + (C*D))$.
$$E=(A\cdot B) + ((D\cdot B)\cdot C$$
can be transformed to
$$ E= B\cdot(A+D\cdot C)$$
Thus,
$$ B = \frac{E}{A+D\cdot C}$$
