X_{1}Y_{1}E=\left(\frac{X_{2}-X_{1}}{X_{1}}-\frac{Y_{2}-Y_{1}}{Y_{1}}\right)X_{1}Y_{1}\times 100
Multiply both sides of the equation by 100X_{1}Y_{1}, the least common multiple of 100,X_{1},Y_{1}.
X_{1}Y_{1}E=\left(\frac{\left(X_{2}-X_{1}\right)Y_{1}}{X_{1}Y_{1}}-\frac{\left(Y_{2}-Y_{1}\right)X_{1}}{X_{1}Y_{1}}\right)X_{1}Y_{1}\times 100
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of X_{1} and Y_{1} is X_{1}Y_{1}. Multiply \frac{X_{2}-X_{1}}{X_{1}} times \frac{Y_{1}}{Y_{1}}. Multiply \frac{Y_{2}-Y_{1}}{Y_{1}} times \frac{X_{1}}{X_{1}}.
X_{1}Y_{1}E=\frac{\left(X_{2}-X_{1}\right)Y_{1}-\left(Y_{2}-Y_{1}\right)X_{1}}{X_{1}Y_{1}}X_{1}Y_{1}\times 100
Since \frac{\left(X_{2}-X_{1}\right)Y_{1}}{X_{1}Y_{1}} and \frac{\left(Y_{2}-Y_{1}\right)X_{1}}{X_{1}Y_{1}} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
X_{1}Y_{1}E=\frac{X_{2}Y_{1}-X_{1}Y_{1}-Y_{2}X_{1}+Y_{1}X_{1}}{X_{1}Y_{1}}X_{1}Y_{1}\times 100
Do the multiplications in \left(X_{2}-X_{1}\right)Y_{1}-\left(Y_{2}-Y_{1}\right)X_{1}.
X_{1}Y_{1}E=\frac{-Y_{2}X_{1}+X_{2}Y_{1}}{X_{1}Y_{1}}X_{1}Y_{1}\times 100
Combine like terms in X_{2}Y_{1}-X_{1}Y_{1}-Y_{2}X_{1}+Y_{1}X_{1}.
X_{1}Y_{1}E=\frac{\left(-Y_{2}X_{1}+X_{2}Y_{1}\right)X_{1}}{X_{1}Y_{1}}Y_{1}\times 100
Express \frac{-Y_{2}X_{1}+X_{2}Y_{1}}{X_{1}Y_{1}}X_{1} as a single fraction.
X_{1}Y_{1}E=\frac{-X_{1}Y_{2}+X_{2}Y_{1}}{Y_{1}}Y_{1}\times 100
Cancel out X_{1} in both numerator and denominator.
X_{1}Y_{1}E=\frac{\left(-X_{1}Y_{2}+X_{2}Y_{1}\right)Y_{1}}{Y_{1}}\times 100
Express \frac{-X_{1}Y_{2}+X_{2}Y_{1}}{Y_{1}}Y_{1} as a single fraction.
X_{1}Y_{1}E=\left(-X_{1}Y_{2}+X_{2}Y_{1}\right)\times 100
Cancel out Y_{1} in both numerator and denominator.
X_{1}Y_{1}E=-100Y_{2}X_{1}+100X_{2}Y_{1}
Use the distributive property to multiply -X_{1}Y_{2}+X_{2}Y_{1} by 100.
X_{1}Y_{1}E=100X_{2}Y_{1}-100X_{1}Y_{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{X_{1}Y_{1}E}{X_{1}Y_{1}}=\frac{100X_{2}Y_{1}-100X_{1}Y_{2}}{X_{1}Y_{1}}
Divide both sides by Y_{1}X_{1}.
E=\frac{100X_{2}Y_{1}-100X_{1}Y_{2}}{X_{1}Y_{1}}
Dividing by Y_{1}X_{1} undoes the multiplication by Y_{1}X_{1}.
E=\frac{100X_{2}}{X_{1}}-\frac{100Y_{2}}{Y_{1}}
Divide -100Y_{2}X_{1}+100X_{2}Y_{1} by Y_{1}X_{1}.
