yx+yy=x
Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
yx+y^{2}=x
Multiply y and y to get y^{2}.
yx+y^{2}-x=0
Subtract x from both sides.
yx-x=-y^{2}
Subtract y^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(y-1\right)x=-y^{2}
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(y-1\right)x}{y-1}=-\frac{y^{2}}{y-1}
Divide both sides by y-1.
x=-\frac{y^{2}}{y-1}
Dividing by y-1 undoes the multiplication by y-1.
