y\left(2x-1\right)=x
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=x
Use the distributive property to multiply y by 2x-1.
2yx-y-x=0
Subtract x from both sides.
2yx-x=y
Add y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(2y-1\right)x=y
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(2y-1\right)x}{2y-1}=\frac{y}{2y-1}
Divide both sides by 2y-1.
x=\frac{y}{2y-1}
Dividing by 2y-1 undoes the multiplication by 2y-1.
x=\frac{y}{2y-1}\text{, }x\neq \frac{1}{2}
Variable x cannot be equal to \frac{1}{2}.
