How do I simplify this equation?

T= (B x 79) / (344 +B)

Is there a better way to write it down?

I'm trying to work out the drone flying time from a battery of weight B, thanks.

(B is battery weight, 344 is net weight of drone, 79 is gram minutes / gram, a sort of lifting power density measure I worked out for the 116g battery. I know it'll fly for around 20 mins with this battery but I'd like to have a general formula so I can predict what a different size battery will do.)

It looks fine as it is. Unless you want to solve for B, in which case you equation becomes:

B = -(344 T)/(T-79).

Thanks, that was quick! :)

Great, your answer is good. I was wondering if there was some more compact expression with squares or something but perhaps not. I'm kind of hazy on it as it's a while since I did this sort of stuff at school.
