zb=a-b+bc
Variable b cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by b.
zb+b=a+bc
Add b to both sides.
zb+b-bc=a
Subtract bc from both sides.
\left(z+1-c\right)b=a
Combine all terms containing b.
\left(z-c+1\right)b=a
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(z-c+1\right)b}{z-c+1}=\frac{a}{z-c+1}
Divide both sides by z+1-c.
b=\frac{a}{z-c+1}
Dividing by z+1-c undoes the multiplication by z+1-c.
b=\frac{a}{z-c+1}\text{, }b\neq 0
Variable b cannot be equal to 0.
