Swapping Q and X

[jyodes21]

q=(x*(1+z)^y*z)/((1+z)^y-1)

I need to isolate "x" and figure out how to get "x" by itself... in other words, I need "q" to go on the right side of the equation, and "x" to go on the left side of the equation. I'm at a total loss right now and am praying someone can get me started in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any advice! Thanks kindly in advance.

I presume this means what it says: [MATH]q = \frac{x(1+z)^y z}{(1+z)^y - 1}[/MATH].

Does it help if we rewrite it as [MATH]q = x\frac{(1+z)^y z}{(1+z)^y - 1}[/MATH]?

To solve for x, just multiply both sides by the reciprocal of what is multiplying x.
