y\left(x+2\right)=10
Variable x cannot be equal to -2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+2.
yx+2y=10
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x+2.
yx=10-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides.
\frac{yx}{y}=\frac{10-2y}{y}
Divide both sides by y.
x=\frac{10-2y}{y}
Dividing by y undoes the multiplication by y.
x=-2+\frac{10}{y}
Divide 10-2y by y.
x=-2+\frac{10}{y}\text{, }x\neq -2
Variable x cannot be equal to -2.
