how to leave a variable on one side of the equation

24 views (last 30 days)
hello, and sorry for i don't know and couldn't find the exact term in english to specify what i'm looking for so i'm going to try to explain it in a verbal way. for example, if i have an equation as:
-3*a+2*b==10*sin(c)
(with a, b and c being independent sym variables) and want to find b as:
b==(10*sin(c)+3*a)/2
what function should i use?

I think you could just do
solve(-3*a+2*b==10*sin(c), b)

s='-3*a+2*b==10*sin(c)'
out=solve(s,'b')

Oh I've thought solve function only returns numerical results for like one variable equations only. Thanks to both of you!
