a\left(1-\sin(\theta )\right)=\theta
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
a-a\sin(\theta )=\theta
Use the distributive property to multiply a by 1-\sin(\theta ).
\left(1-\sin(\theta )\right)a=\theta
Combine all terms containing a.
\left(-\sin(\theta )+1\right)a=\theta
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-\sin(\theta )+1\right)a}{-\sin(\theta )+1}=\frac{\theta }{-\sin(\theta )+1}
Divide both sides by 1-\sin(\theta ).
a=\frac{\theta }{-\sin(\theta )+1}
Dividing by 1-\sin(\theta ) undoes the multiplication by 1-\sin(\theta ).
