Solve 1x*y-2=y

$$1x \times y-2 = y$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{y+2}{y}$$

$$y\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 2 to both sides.

$$1xy=y+2$$

Reorder the terms.

$$xy=y+2$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$yx=y+2$$

Divide both sides by y.

$$\frac{yx}{y}=\frac{y+2}{y}$$

Dividing by y undoes the multiplication by y.

$$x=\frac{y+2}{y}$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{2}{x-1}$$

$$x\neq 1$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract y from both sides.

$$1xy-2-y=0$$

Add 2 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$1xy-y=2$$

Reorder the terms.

$$xy-y=2$$

Combine all terms containing y.

$$\left(x-1\right)y=2$$

Divide both sides by x-1.

$$\frac{\left(x-1\right)y}{x-1}=\frac{2}{x-1}$$

Dividing by x-1 undoes the multiplication by x-1.

$$y=\frac{2}{x-1}$$
