\left(y+1\right)\left(2-y\right)=\left(2-y\right)x
Multiply both sides of the equation by y\left(y+1\right), the least common multiple of y,y^{2}+y.
y-y^{2}+2=\left(2-y\right)x
Use the distributive property to multiply y+1 by 2-y and combine like terms.
y-y^{2}+2=2x-yx
Use the distributive property to multiply 2-y by x.
2x-yx=y-y^{2}+2
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(2-y\right)x=y-y^{2}+2
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(2-y\right)x=2+y-y^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2-y\right)x}{2-y}=-\frac{\left(y-2\right)\left(y+1\right)}{2-y}
Divide both sides by 2-y.
x=-\frac{\left(y-2\right)\left(y+1\right)}{2-y}
Dividing by 2-y undoes the multiplication by 2-y.
x=y+1
Divide -\left(-2+y\right)\left(1+y\right) by 2-y.
