xy-2x+1-y=0
Use the distributive property to multiply x by y-2.
xy-2x-y=-1
Subtract 1 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
xy-2x=-1+y
Add y to both sides.
\left(y-2\right)x=-1+y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(y-2\right)x=y-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(y-2\right)x}{y-2}=\frac{y-1}{y-2}
Divide both sides by y-2.
x=\frac{y-1}{y-2}
Dividing by y-2 undoes the multiplication by y-2.
xy-2x+1-y=0
Use the distributive property to multiply x by y-2.
xy+1-y=2x
Add 2x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
xy-y=2x-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\left(x-1\right)y=2x-1
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(x-1\right)y}{x-1}=\frac{2x-1}{x-1}
Divide both sides by x-1.
y=\frac{2x-1}{x-1}
Dividing by x-1 undoes the multiplication by x-1.
