1-uy-u=0
Subtract u from both sides.
-uy-u=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(-y-1\right)u=-1
Combine all terms containing u.
\frac{\left(-y-1\right)u}{-y-1}=-\frac{1}{-y-1}
Divide both sides by -y-1.
u=-\frac{1}{-y-1}
Dividing by -y-1 undoes the multiplication by -y-1.
u=\frac{1}{y+1}
Divide -1 by -y-1.
-uy=u-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\left(-u\right)y=u-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-u\right)y}{-u}=\frac{u-1}{-u}
Divide both sides by -u.
y=\frac{u-1}{-u}
Dividing by -u undoes the multiplication by -u.
y=-1+\frac{1}{u}
Divide u-1 by -u.
