y\left(-t+1\right)=2+bt
Multiply both sides of the equation by -t+1.
-yt+y=2+bt
Use the distributive property to multiply y by -t+1.
2+bt=-yt+y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
bt=-yt+y-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
tb=-ty+y-2
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{tb}{t}=\frac{-ty+y-2}{t}
Divide both sides by t.
b=\frac{-ty+y-2}{t}
Dividing by t undoes the multiplication by t.
y\left(-t+1\right)=2+bt
Variable t cannot be equal to 1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -t+1.
-yt+y=2+bt
Use the distributive property to multiply y by -t+1.
-yt+y-bt=2
Subtract bt from both sides.
-yt-bt=2-y
Subtract y from both sides.
\left(-y-b\right)t=2-y
Combine all terms containing t.
\frac{\left(-y-b\right)t}{-y-b}=\frac{2-y}{-y-b}
Divide both sides by -y-b.
t=\frac{2-y}{-y-b}
Dividing by -y-b undoes the multiplication by -y-b.
t=-\frac{2-y}{y+b}
Divide 2-y by -y-b.
t=-\frac{2-y}{y+b}\text{, }t\neq 1
Variable t cannot be equal to 1.
