Multiply both sides of the equation by B.
BA=B-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\frac{BA}{B}=\frac{B-1}{B}
Divide both sides by B.
A=\frac{B-1}{B}
Dividing by B undoes the multiplication by B.
BA+1=B
Variable B cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by B.
BA+1-B=0
Subtract B from both sides.
BA-B=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(A-1\right)B=-1
Combine all terms containing B.
\frac{\left(A-1\right)B}{A-1}=-\frac{1}{A-1}
Divide both sides by A-1.
B=-\frac{1}{A-1}
Dividing by A-1 undoes the multiplication by A-1.
B=-\frac{1}{A-1}\text{, }B\neq 0
