x^{2}=y\left(x-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by x-1.
x^{2}=yx-y
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x-1.
yx-y=x^{2}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(x-1\right)y=x^{2}
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(x-1\right)y}{x-1}=\frac{x^{2}}{x-1}
Divide both sides by x-1.
y=\frac{x^{2}}{x-1}
Dividing by x-1 undoes the multiplication by x-1.
