\cos(x)+y=xy
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
\cos(x)+y-xy=0
Subtract xy from both sides.
y-xy=-\cos(x)
Subtract \cos(x) from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(1-x\right)y=-\cos(x)
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(1-x\right)y}{1-x}=-\frac{\cos(x)}{1-x}
Divide both sides by 1-x.
y=-\frac{\cos(x)}{1-x}
Dividing by 1-x undoes the multiplication by 1-x.
y=-\frac{\cos(x)}{1-x}\text{, }y\neq 0
Variable y cannot be equal to 0.
