That's not a problem, it's an equation.
Step 1, say what you want to do.

%28a%2Bb%29%2Fc=x%2Fd+...here you have two fractions; in order to eliminate a fraction, cross multiply

%28a%2Bb%29d=cx+..now you can find x

highlight%28x=%28a%2Bb%29dc%29+

or, find c

highlight%28c=%28a%2Bb%29dx%29+


or, find d
highlight%28d=c%2F%28a%2Bb%29x%29+

or find a
%28a%2Bb%29dc=x+
a%2Bb=x%2Fdc+
highlight%28a=x%2Fdc-b+%29

or find b
highlight%28b=x%2Fdc-a%29+
