Solve y=n/n+1

$$y = \frac { n } { n + 1 }$$

Solve for n

$$n=-\frac{y}{y-1}$$

$$y\neq 1$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable n cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by n+1.

$$y\left(n+1\right)=n$$

Use the distributive property to multiply y by n+1.

$$yn+y=n$$

Subtract n from both sides.

$$yn+y-n=0$$

Subtract y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$yn-n=-y$$

Combine all terms containing n.

$$\left(y-1\right)n=-y$$

Divide both sides by y-1.

$$\frac{\left(y-1\right)n}{y-1}=-\frac{y}{y-1}$$

Dividing by y-1 undoes the multiplication by y-1.

$$n=-\frac{y}{y-1}$$

Variable n cannot be equal to -1.

$$n=-\frac{y}{y-1}\text{, }n\neq -1$$

Solve for y

$$y=\frac{n}{n+1}$$

$$n\neq -1$$
