a=c+cbt
Use the distributive property to multiply c by 1+bt.
c+cbt=a
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
cbt=a-c
Subtract c from both sides.
ctb=a-c
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{ctb}{ct}=\frac{a-c}{ct}
Divide both sides by ct.
b=\frac{a-c}{ct}
Dividing by ct undoes the multiplication by ct.
