Rearrange symbolic variables in equation

3 views (last 30 days)
Suppose i have an equation a=b*(c-3) and i want to find a/b which is equal to (c-3). How do i code it. P.S I have tried the solve function
eqn = a == b*(c-3);
S = solve(eqn, a/b)
but the result is
S =
struct with fields:
b: [0×1 sym]
c: [0×1 sym]

syms aoverb
S = solve(subs(eqn, a, aoverb*b), aoverb)

syms a b c ;
eqn = a/b == (c-3);
S = solve(eqn,[ a,b,c])

syms a b c ;
eqn = a/b == (c-3);
S = solve(eqn,[a,b])
S = struct with fields:
a: c - 3 b: 1
lhs(eqn) == S.a % do you mean like this ?

uhmm not exactly. For instant if a much complicated equation say a+y^2+3x=b*(2x+c) etc and i want to find a/b in terms of those symbolic variables.
