-4y-xy-x=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-xy-x=4y
Add 4y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(-y-1\right)x=4y
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(-y-1\right)x}{-y-1}=\frac{4y}{-y-1}
Divide both sides by -y-1.
x=\frac{4y}{-y-1}
Dividing by -y-1 undoes the multiplication by -y-1.
x=-\frac{4y}{y+1}
Divide 4y by -y-1.
-4y-xy-x=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-4y-xy=x
Add x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(-4-x\right)y=x
Combine all terms containing y.
\left(-x-4\right)y=x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-x-4\right)y}{-x-4}=\frac{x}{-x-4}
Divide both sides by -4-x.
y=\frac{x}{-x-4}
Dividing by -4-x undoes the multiplication by -4-x.
y=-\frac{x}{x+4}
Divide x by -4-x.
