y=1\left(2x^{-1}+2\right)+3
Calculate 2x^{-1}+2 to the power of 1 and get 2x^{-1}+2.
y=2x^{-1}+2+3
Use the distributive property to multiply 1 by 2x^{-1}+2.
y=2x^{-1}+5
Add 2 and 3 to get 5.
2x^{-1}+5=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5+2\times \frac{1}{x}=y
Reorder the terms.
x\times 5+2\times 1=yx
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
x\times 5+2=yx
Multiply 2 and 1 to get 2.
x\times 5+2-yx=0
Subtract yx from both sides.
x\times 5-yx=-2
Subtract 2 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(5-y\right)x=-2
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(5-y\right)x}{5-y}=-\frac{2}{5-y}
Divide both sides by 5-y.
x=-\frac{2}{5-y}
Dividing by 5-y undoes the multiplication by 5-y.
x=-\frac{2}{5-y}\text{, }x\neq 0
Variable x cannot be equal to 0.
