4BL^{2}+4CM^{2}=5BC^{2}
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by BL^{2}+CM^{2}.
4BL^{2}+4CM^{2}-5BC^{2}=0
Subtract 5BC^{2} from both sides.
4BL^{2}-5BC^{2}=-4CM^{2}
Subtract 4CM^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(4L^{2}-5C^{2}\right)B=-4CM^{2}
Combine all terms containing B.
\frac{\left(4L^{2}-5C^{2}\right)B}{4L^{2}-5C^{2}}=-\frac{4CM^{2}}{4L^{2}-5C^{2}}
Divide both sides by -5C^{2}+4L^{2}.
B=-\frac{4CM^{2}}{4L^{2}-5C^{2}}
Dividing by -5C^{2}+4L^{2} undoes the multiplication by -5C^{2}+4L^{2}.
