Y\cos(\theta )+X\sin(\theta )=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
X\sin(\theta )=y-Y\cos(\theta )
Subtract Y\cos(\theta ) from both sides.
\sin(\theta )X=-Y\cos(\theta )+y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\sin(\theta )X}{\sin(\theta )}=\frac{-Y\cos(\theta )+y}{\sin(\theta )}
Divide both sides by \sin(\theta ).
X=\frac{-Y\cos(\theta )+y}{\sin(\theta )}
Dividing by \sin(\theta ) undoes the multiplication by \sin(\theta ).
