solving an equation multiple directions

I want to write a function in a computer language like C or Java.

I want the function to solve for one variable then another without
writing the equation twice.

Example:

x = y + z (given y and z)

y = x - z (given x and z)

but without writing two equations to prevent duplication in my code.
Any ideas?

Thanks!
