I took basic algebra years ago but don't really remember much. I'm trying to come up with an Excel formula that will find the value of X. I'm starting with X=(X/(Y*(Z/14)))/14. This is correct. I know I can simplify to 14X=X/(Y*(Z/14)) but then I don't know what to do with the X in the numerator. How do I get X to only one side of the equation? </SPAN>\n" );
