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