9x-8y-xy=0
Subtract xy from both sides.
9x-xy=8y
Add 8y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(9-y\right)x=8y
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(9-y\right)x}{9-y}=\frac{8y}{9-y}
Divide both sides by 9-y.
x=\frac{8y}{9-y}
Dividing by 9-y undoes the multiplication by 9-y.
9x-8y-xy=0
Subtract xy from both sides.
-8y-xy=-9x
Subtract 9x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(-8-x\right)y=-9x
Combine all terms containing y.
\left(-x-8\right)y=-9x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-x-8\right)y}{-x-8}=-\frac{9x}{-x-8}
Divide both sides by -8-x.
y=-\frac{9x}{-x-8}
Dividing by -8-x undoes the multiplication by -8-x.
y=\frac{9x}{x+8}
Divide -9x by -8-x.
