v-u=za
Variable a cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by a.
za=v-u
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{za}{z}=\frac{v-u}{z}
Divide both sides by z.
a=\frac{v-u}{z}
Dividing by z undoes the multiplication by z.
a=\frac{v-u}{z}\text{, }a\neq 0
Variable a cannot be equal to 0.
v-u=za
Multiply both sides of the equation by a.
-u=za-v
Subtract v from both sides.
-u=az-v
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-u}{-1}=\frac{az-v}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
u=\frac{az-v}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
u=v-az
Divide za-v by -1.
