y\left(2n+1\right)=n
Variable n cannot be equal to -\frac{1}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2n+1.
2yn+y=n
Use the distributive property to multiply y by 2n+1.
2yn+y-n=0
Subtract n from both sides.
2yn-n=-y
Subtract y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(2y-1\right)n=-y
Combine all terms containing n.
\frac{\left(2y-1\right)n}{2y-1}=-\frac{y}{2y-1}
Divide both sides by 2y-1.
n=-\frac{y}{2y-1}
Dividing by 2y-1 undoes the multiplication by 2y-1.
n=-\frac{y}{2y-1}\text{, }n\neq -\frac{1}{2}
Variable n cannot be equal to -\frac{1}{2}.
