x+yz=b\left(z+1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by z+1.
x+yz=bz+b
Use the distributive property to multiply b by z+1.
bz+b=x+yz
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(z+1\right)b=x+yz
Combine all terms containing b.
\frac{\left(z+1\right)b}{z+1}=\frac{x+yz}{z+1}
Divide both sides by z+1.
b=\frac{x+yz}{z+1}
Dividing by z+1 undoes the multiplication by z+1.
