y\left(4x+1\right)=2x+2x-1
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{1}{4} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4x+1.
4yx+y=2x+2x-1
Use the distributive property to multiply y by 4x+1.
4yx+y=4x-1
Combine 2x and 2x to get 4x.
4yx+y-4x=-1
Subtract 4x from both sides.
4yx-4x=-1-y
Subtract y from both sides.
\left(4y-4\right)x=-1-y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(4y-4\right)x=-y-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(4y-4\right)x}{4y-4}=\frac{-y-1}{4y-4}
Divide both sides by 4y-4.
x=\frac{-y-1}{4y-4}
Dividing by 4y-4 undoes the multiplication by 4y-4.
x=-\frac{y+1}{4\left(y-1\right)}
Divide -1-y by 4y-4.
x=-\frac{y+1}{4\left(y-1\right)}\text{, }x\neq -\frac{1}{4}
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{1}{4}.
