y-xy=x+1
Use the distributive property to multiply 1-x by y.
y-xy-x=1
Subtract x from both sides.
-xy-x=1-y
Subtract y from both sides.
\left(-y-1\right)x=1-y
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(-y-1\right)x}{-y-1}=\frac{1-y}{-y-1}
Divide both sides by -y-1.
x=\frac{1-y}{-y-1}
Dividing by -y-1 undoes the multiplication by -y-1.
x=-\frac{1-y}{y+1}
Divide 1-y by -y-1.
y-xy=x+1
Use the distributive property to multiply 1-x by y.
\left(1-x\right)y=x+1
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(1-x\right)y}{1-x}=\frac{x+1}{1-x}
Divide both sides by 1-x.
y=\frac{x+1}{1-x}
Dividing by 1-x undoes the multiplication by 1-x.
