y\left(2x-1\right)=2
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=2
Use the distributive property to multiply y by 2x-1.
2yx=2+y
Add y to both sides.
2yx=y+2
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2yx}{2y}=\frac{y+2}{2y}
Divide both sides by 2y.
x=\frac{y+2}{2y}
Dividing by 2y undoes the multiplication by 2y.
x=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{y}
Divide y+2 by 2y.
x=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{y}\text{, }x\neq \frac{1}{2}
Variable x cannot be equal to \frac{1}{2}.
