Make U the subject in:S= U*V / U + V (this being a fraction).

\small{\text{$  S= \dfrac{ U\cdot V } { U + V } $}}\\\\ \small{\text{$ \dfrac{1}{S}= \dfrac{ U + V } { U\cdot V }  $}}\\\\ \small{\text{$ \dfrac{1}{S}= \dfrac{ U } { U\cdot V } + \dfrac{ V } { U\cdot V }  $}}\\\\ \boxed{\small{\text{$ \dfrac{1}{S}= \dfrac{ 1 } { V } + \dfrac{ 1 } { U }  $}}}\\\\ \small{\text{$ \dfrac{1}{U}= \dfrac{ 1 } { S } - \dfrac{ 1 } { V }  $}}\\\\ \small{\text{$ \dfrac{1}{U}= \dfrac{ V-S } { V\cdot S }  $}}\\\\ \boxed{ \small{\text{$ U= \dfrac{ V\cdot S } { V-S }  $}}}

S=U×VU+V

 

Multiply both sides by U + V:

 

S×(U+V)=U×V

 

Expand the left-hand side:

 

S×U+S×V=U×V

 

Subtract U*V and S*V from both sides:

 

S×UU×V=S×V

 

Factor out U on the left-hand side:

 

U×(SV)=S×V

 

Divide both sides by S - V:

 

U=S×VSV
