This may seem easy to you guys but I dont have a particularly strong maths background so it confuses me a little bit.
Lets say, A = B x C / D
How do I make each of the letters the subject of the formula, like what do I have to do?

Make D the subject: multiply both sides by D. Divide both sides by A -

To make B the subject, you take eeverything to one side, apart from B
Ax D/C = B
C as the subject
A/B x D = C -
