Need to figure out how to reverse this equation for my work...

C = 4.42 - .113 * A + 0.0406 * B

How do I solve for "B"?

Thanks for any assistance in advance. My brain must be broken as this seemed simple until I actually sat down and tried to figure it out.

Thanks for any assistance in advance. My brain must be broken as this seemed simple until I actually sat down and tried to figure it out.

C = 4.42 - 0.11A + 0.04B

C - 4.42 = -0.11A + 0.04B

C - 4.42 + 0.11A = 0.04B

B = (C - 4.42 + 0.11A)/0.04
