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