xy=-y^{n}
Subtract y^{n} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
yx=-y^{n}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{yx}{y}=-\frac{y^{n}}{y}
Divide both sides by y.
x=-\frac{y^{n}}{y}
Dividing by y undoes the multiplication by y.
x=-y^{n-1}
Divide -y^{n} by y.
xy=-y^{n}
Subtract y^{n} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
