xb+x=e
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
xb=e-x
Subtract x from both sides.
\frac{xb}{x}=\frac{e-x}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
b=\frac{e-x}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
b=-1+\frac{e}{x}
Divide e-x by x.
xb+x=e
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(b+1\right)x=e
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(b+1\right)x}{b+1}=\frac{e}{b+1}
Divide both sides by 1+b.
x=\frac{e}{b+1}
Dividing by 1+b undoes the multiplication by 1+b.
