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