xy-x+y=y^{2}
Add y^{2} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
xy-x=y^{2}-y
Subtract y from both sides.
\left(y-1\right)x=y^{2}-y
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(y-1\right)x}{y-1}=\frac{y\left(y-1\right)}{y-1}
Divide both sides by -1+y.
x=\frac{y\left(y-1\right)}{y-1}
Dividing by -1+y undoes the multiplication by -1+y.
x=y
Divide y\left(-1+y\right) by -1+y.
xy-x+y=y^{2}
Add y^{2} to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
