x-1=\left(-f\right)x\left(x+1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by x+1.
x-1=\left(-f\right)x^{2}+\left(-f\right)x
Use the distributive property to multiply \left(-f\right)x by x+1.
\left(-f\right)x^{2}+\left(-f\right)x=x-1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-fx^{2}-fx=x-1
Reorder the terms.
\left(-x^{2}-x\right)f=x-1
Combine all terms containing f.
\frac{\left(-x^{2}-x\right)f}{-x^{2}-x}=\frac{x-1}{-x^{2}-x}
Divide both sides by -x^{2}-x.
f=\frac{x-1}{-x^{2}-x}
Dividing by -x^{2}-x undoes the multiplication by -x^{2}-x.
f=\frac{x-1}{-x\left(x+1\right)}
Divide x-1 by -x^{2}-x.
