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