To solve the equation
\displaystyle\sf z = (a+b)/(m\cdot a) for
\displaystyle\sf a, we can follow these steps:

1. Multiply both sides of the equation by
\displaystyle\sf m\cdot a to eliminate the denominator:


\displaystyle\sf z\cdot m\cdot a = a+b

2. Distribute
\displaystyle\sf z\cdot m to both terms on the right side of the equation:


\displaystyle\sf z\cdot m\cdot a = a+z\cdot m\cdot b

3. Move all terms containing
\displaystyle\sf a to one side of the equation and all other terms to the other side:


\displaystyle\sf z\cdot m\cdot a - a = z\cdot m\cdot b

4. Factor out
\displaystyle\sf a from the left side of the equation:


\displaystyle\sf a\cdot (z\cdot m - 1) = z\cdot m\cdot b

5. Divide both sides of the equation by
\displaystyle\sf z\cdot m - 1 to solve for
\displaystyle\sf a:


\displaystyle\sf a = (z\cdot m\cdot b)/(z\cdot m - 1)

Therefore, the solution for
\displaystyle\sf a is
\displaystyle\sf (z\cdot m\cdot b)/(z\cdot m - 1).
