3-2=y-1
Variable y cannot be equal to 1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y-1, the least common multiple of y-1,1-y.
1=y-1
Subtract 2 from 3 to get 1.
y-1=1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
y=1+1
Add 1 to both sides.
y=2
Add 1 and 1 to get 2.
