x=yx-yy
Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
x=yx-y^{2}
Multiply y and y to get y^{2}.
x-yx=-y^{2}
Subtract yx from both sides.
\left(1-y\right)x=-y^{2}
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(1-y\right)x}{1-y}=-\frac{y^{2}}{1-y}
Divide both sides by -y+1.
x=-\frac{y^{2}}{1-y}
Dividing by -y+1 undoes the multiplication by -y+1.
