ax+a+1=-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
ax+a=-2y-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\left(x+1\right)a=-2y-1
Combine all terms containing a.
\frac{\left(x+1\right)a}{x+1}=\frac{-2y-1}{x+1}
Divide both sides by x+1.
a=\frac{-2y-1}{x+1}
Dividing by x+1 undoes the multiplication by x+1.
a=-\frac{2y+1}{x+1}
Divide -2y-1 by x+1.
ax+a+1=-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
ax+1=-2y-a
Subtract a from both sides.
ax=-2y-a-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\frac{ax}{a}=\frac{-2y-a-1}{a}
Divide both sides by a.
x=\frac{-2y-a-1}{a}
Dividing by a undoes the multiplication by a.
x=-\frac{2y+a+1}{a}
Divide -2y-a-1 by a.
ax+a+1=-2y
