y\left(-x+1\right)=1
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=1
Use the distributive property to multiply y by -x+1.
-yx=1-y
Subtract y from both sides.
\left(-y\right)x=1-y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-y\right)x}{-y}=\frac{1-y}{-y}
Divide both sides by -y.
x=\frac{1-y}{-y}
Dividing by -y undoes the multiplication by -y.
x=1-\frac{1}{y}
Divide 1-y by -y.
x=1-\frac{1}{y}\text{, }x\neq 1
Variable x cannot be equal to 1.
