y-\frac{y}{x^{2}-1}=0
Subtract \frac{y}{x^{2}-1} from both sides.
y-\frac{y}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}=0
Factor x^{2}-1.
\frac{y\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}-\frac{y}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}=0
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply y times \frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}.
\frac{y\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)-y}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}=0
Since \frac{y\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)} and \frac{y}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x^{2}y+yx-yx-y-y}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}=0
Do the multiplications in y\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)-y.
\frac{x^{2}y-2y}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}=0
Combine like terms in x^{2}y+yx-yx-y-y.
x^{2}y-2y=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right).
\left(x^{2}-2\right)y=0
Combine all terms containing y.
y=0
Divide 0 by -2+x^{2}.
y-\frac{y}{x^{2}-1}=0
Subtract \frac{y}{x^{2}-1} from both sides.
y-\frac{y}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}=0
Factor x^{2}-1.
\frac{y\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}-\frac{y}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}=0
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply y times \frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}.
\frac{y\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)-y}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}=0
Since \frac{y\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)} and \frac{y}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x^{2}y+yx-yx-y-y}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}=0
Do the multiplications in y\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)-y.
\frac{x^{2}y-2y}{\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)}=0
Combine like terms in x^{2}y+yx-yx-y-y.
x^{2}y-2y=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right).
\left(x^{2}-2\right)y=0
Combine all terms containing y.
y=0
Divide 0 by -2+x^{2}.
