y\left(-x+1\right)=\left(-x+1\right)\times 4+2
Variable x cannot be equal to 1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -x+1.
-yx+y=\left(-x+1\right)\times 4+2
Use the distributive property to multiply y by -x+1.
-yx+y=-4x+4+2
Use the distributive property to multiply -x+1 by 4.
-yx+y=-4x+6
Add 4 and 2 to get 6.
-yx+y+4x=6
Add 4x to both sides.
-yx+4x=6-y
Subtract y from both sides.
\left(-y+4\right)x=6-y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(4-y\right)x=6-y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(4-y\right)x}{4-y}=\frac{6-y}{4-y}
Divide both sides by -y+4.
x=\frac{6-y}{4-y}
Dividing by -y+4 undoes the multiplication by -y+4.
x=\frac{6-y}{4-y}\text{, }x\neq 1
Variable x cannot be equal to 1.
