Solve for x
x=y\left(1-y\right)
y\neq -1
Solve for y (complex solution)
\left\{\begin{matrix}\\y=\frac{\sqrt{1-4x}+1}{2}\text{, }&\text{unconditionally}\\y=\frac{-\sqrt{1-4x}+1}{2}\text{, }&x\neq -2\end{matrix}\right.
Solve for y
\left\{\begin{matrix}y=\frac{-\sqrt{1-4x}+1}{2}\text{, }&x\neq -2\text{ and }x\leq \frac{1}{4}\\y=\frac{\sqrt{1-4x}+1}{2}\text{, }&x\leq \frac{1}{4}\end{matrix}\right.

y\left(y+1\right)=2y-x
Multiply both sides of the equation by y+1.
y^{2}+y=2y-x
Use the distributive property to multiply y by y+1.
2y-x=y^{2}+y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-x=y^{2}+y-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides.
-x=y^{2}-y
Combine y and -2y to get -y.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{y\left(y-1\right)}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{y\left(y-1\right)}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=-y\left(y-1\right)
Divide y\left(-1+y\right) by -1.
