  1. I dont know what you mean but i will try...

    c = x^y/((x^y)+(b^y))

    c((x^y)+(b^y))=x^y

    cx^y+cb^y=x^y

    cx^y-x^y= -cb^y

    x^y(c-1)= -cb^y

    x^y=(-cb^y)/(c-1)

    x=y root of [(-cb^y)/(c-1)]


  2. c = x^y/((x^y)+(b^y))

    c = x^y/x^y  +  x^y/b^y

    c = 1  + x^y/b^y

    c - 1 = x^y/b^y

    b^y(c - 1) = x^y

    log b^y(c - 1) = log x^y

    [log b^y(c - 1)] = y log x

    [log b^y(c - 1)] / y =  log x

    Antilog { [log b^y(c - 1)] / y} =  x


  3. Divide top and bottom of the RHS by x^y:

    c = 1/[1 + b^y/x^y] = 1/[1 + (b/x)^y]

    c[1 + (b/x)^y] = 1

    [1 + (b/x)^y] = 1/c

    (b/x)^y = (1/c) - 1

    ylog(b/x) = log[(1/c) - 1]

    log(b/x) = (1/y)log[(1/c) - 1]

    (b/x) = 10^{(1/y)log[(1/c) - 1]}

    x = b*10^{(-1/y)log[(1/c) - 1]}

    Check:

    x^y = (b^y)10^{-log[(1/c) - 1]} = (b/y)[c/(1 - c)]

    x^y/((x^y)+(b^y)) = [c/(1 - c)] / {[c/(1 - c)] + 1} = c / {c + 1 - c} = c

    And this is correct
