-xy-yz-x=-z^{2}
Subtract z^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-xy-x=-z^{2}+yz
Add yz to both sides.
\left(-y-1\right)x=-z^{2}+yz
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(-y-1\right)x=yz-z^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-y-1\right)x}{-y-1}=\frac{z\left(y-z\right)}{-y-1}
Divide both sides by -y-1.
x=\frac{z\left(y-z\right)}{-y-1}
Dividing by -y-1 undoes the multiplication by -y-1.
x=-\frac{z\left(y-z\right)}{y+1}
Divide z\left(-z+y\right) by -y-1.
-xy-yz-x=-z^{2}
Subtract z^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-xy-yz=-z^{2}+x
Add x to both sides.
\left(-x-z\right)y=-z^{2}+x
Combine all terms containing y.
\left(-x-z\right)y=x-z^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-x-z\right)y}{-x-z}=\frac{x-z^{2}}{-x-z}
Divide both sides by -x-z.
y=\frac{x-z^{2}}{-x-z}
Dividing by -x-z undoes the multiplication by -x-z.
y=-\frac{x-z^{2}}{x+z}
Divide x-z^{2} by -x-z.
