5x+2xy-y=2
Use the distributive property to multiply x by 5+2y.
5x+2xy=2+y
Add y to both sides.
\left(5+2y\right)x=2+y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(2y+5\right)x=y+2
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2y+5\right)x}{2y+5}=\frac{y+2}{2y+5}
Divide both sides by 5+2y.
x=\frac{y+2}{2y+5}
Dividing by 5+2y undoes the multiplication by 5+2y.
5x+2xy-y=2
Use the distributive property to multiply x by 5+2y.
2xy-y=2-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides.
\left(2x-1\right)y=2-5x
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(2x-1\right)y}{2x-1}=\frac{2-5x}{2x-1}
Divide both sides by 2x-1.
y=\frac{2-5x}{2x-1}
Dividing by 2x-1 undoes the multiplication by 2x-1.
