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