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