f^{-1}\left(y+x\right)=x\left(x-2\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by x-2.
f^{-1}y+f^{-1}x=x\left(x-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply f^{-1} by y+x.
f^{-1}y+f^{-1}x=x^{2}-2x
Use the distributive property to multiply x by x-2.
\frac{1}{f}x+\frac{1}{f}y=x^{2}-2x
Reorder the terms.
1x+1y=fx^{2}-2xf
Variable f cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by f.
fx^{2}-2xf=1x+1y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
fx^{2}-2fx=x+y
Reorder the terms.
\left(x^{2}-2x\right)f=x+y
Combine all terms containing f.
\frac{\left(x^{2}-2x\right)f}{x^{2}-2x}=\frac{x+y}{x^{2}-2x}
Divide both sides by x^{2}-2x.
f=\frac{x+y}{x^{2}-2x}
Dividing by x^{2}-2x undoes the multiplication by x^{2}-2x.
f=\frac{x+y}{x\left(x-2\right)}
Divide y+x by x^{2}-2x.
f=\frac{x+y}{x\left(x-2\right)}\text{, }f\neq 0
Variable f cannot be equal to 0.
