    transpose this formula
    I need to transpose this formula to make "b" the subject. It looks very simple but is giving me a headache.

    a=b/3+b

    I think the word "transpose" is incorrect.

    You want to solve it for "b".

    a = b/3 + b
    a = b/3 + 3b/3 (find the common denominator)
    a = 4b/3
    3/4 * a = b
    b = 3a/4
    viola! It was very simple.

    a = b/(b+3)
    a(b+3) = b
    ab + 3a = b
    3a = b - ab = b(1-a)

    3/(1-a) = b
