xy+x-2y-2=7
Use the distributive property to multiply x-2 by y+1.
xy+x-2=7+2y
Add 2y to both sides.
xy+x=7+2y+2
Add 2 to both sides.
xy+x=9+2y
Add 7 and 2 to get 9.
\left(y+1\right)x=9+2y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(y+1\right)x=2y+9
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(y+1\right)x}{y+1}=\frac{2y+9}{y+1}
Divide both sides by y+1.
x=\frac{2y+9}{y+1}
Dividing by y+1 undoes the multiplication by y+1.
xy+x-2y-2=7
Use the distributive property to multiply x-2 by y+1.
xy-2y-2=7-x
Subtract x from both sides.
xy-2y=7-x+2
Add 2 to both sides.
xy-2y=9-x
Add 7 and 2 to get 9.
\left(x-2\right)y=9-x
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(x-2\right)y}{x-2}=\frac{9-x}{x-2}
Divide both sides by x-2.
y=\frac{9-x}{x-2}
Dividing by x-2 undoes the multiplication by x-2.
