Manipulation of algebraic fractions

When one fraction equals another fraction we can clear both fractions by cross-multiplying:

\n

\\((\\var{a}V+1)*(\\var{d}R+7)=(\\var{b}R+3)*(\\var{c}V+5)\\)

\n

\\(\\simplify{{a}*{d}}VR+\\simplify{7*{a}}V+\\var{d}R+7=\\simplify{{b}*{c}}VR+\\simplify{5*{b}}R+\\simplify{3*{c}}V+15\\)

\n

Gathering all the terms involving \\(V\\) to the left hand side and moving all other terms to the right hand side gives

\n

\\(\\simplify{{a}*{d}-{b}*{c}}VR+\\simplify{7*{a}-3*{c}}V=\\simplify{5*{b}-{d}}R+8\\)

\n

Factoring \\(V\\) out on the left hand side 

\n

\\(V(\\simplify{{a}*{d}-{b}*{c}}R+\\simplify{7*{a}-3*{c}})=\\simplify{5*{b}-{d}}R+8\\)

\n

Thus

\n

\\(V=\\frac{\\simplify{5*{b}-{d}}R+8}{\\simplify{{a}*{d}-{b}*{c}}R+\\simplify{7*{a}-3*{c}}}\\)
