A\left(-B+1\right)=a-B+b
Variable B cannot be equal to 1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -B+1.
-AB+A=a-B+b
Use the distributive property to multiply A by -B+1.
-AB+A+B=a+b
Add B to both sides.
-AB+B=a+b-A
Subtract A from both sides.
\left(-A+1\right)B=a+b-A
Combine all terms containing B.
\left(1-A\right)B=b+a-A
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(1-A\right)B}{1-A}=\frac{b+a-A}{1-A}
Divide both sides by -A+1.
B=\frac{b+a-A}{1-A}
Dividing by -A+1 undoes the multiplication by -A+1.
B=\frac{b+a-A}{1-A}\text{, }B\neq 1
Variable B cannot be equal to 1.
