AB-CD = BD+AC
--------------------
Get the "B-Terms" together:
AB - BD = AC + CD
------------------------
Factor out the "B":
B(A-D) = AC + CD
----------------------
Solve for B:
B = (AC+CD)/(A-D)

--------------------
You can only solve for B in terms of the other 3 variables.
Add CD to both sides
AB = BD+AC+CD
Get all terms with B on the same side by subtracting BD from both sides
AB-BD = AC+CD
Factor the terms
B*(A-D) = C*(A+D)
Divide by (A-D) to get B by itself
--------------------
B = C*(A+D)/(A-D)
That's as far as you can go.
