y\left(x+y\right)-2y=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2y, the least common multiple of 2,y.
yx+y^{2}-2y=0
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x+y.
yx-2y=-y^{2}
Subtract y^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
yx=-y^{2}+2y
Add 2y to both sides.
yx=2y-y^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{yx}{y}=\frac{y\left(2-y\right)}{y}
Divide both sides by y.
x=\frac{y\left(2-y\right)}{y}
Dividing by y undoes the multiplication by y.
x=2-y
Divide y\left(2-y\right) by y.
