yz=1-yx
Multiply both sides of the equation by z.
1-yx=yz
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-yx=yz-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\left(-y\right)x=yz-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-y\right)x}{-y}=\frac{yz-1}{-y}
Divide both sides by -y.
x=\frac{yz-1}{-y}
Dividing by -y undoes the multiplication by -y.
x=-z+\frac{1}{y}
Divide yz-1 by -y.
y-\frac{1-yx}{z}=0
Subtract \frac{1-yx}{z} from both sides.
\frac{yz}{z}-\frac{1-yx}{z}=0
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply y times \frac{z}{z}.
\frac{yz-\left(1-yx\right)}{z}=0
Since \frac{yz}{z} and \frac{1-yx}{z} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{yz-1+xy}{z}=0
Do the multiplications in yz-\left(1-yx\right).
yz-1+xy=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by z.
yz+xy=1
Add 1 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(z+x\right)y=1
Combine all terms containing y.
\left(x+z\right)y=1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(x+z\right)y}{x+z}=\frac{1}{x+z}
Divide both sides by z+x.
y=\frac{1}{x+z}
Dividing by z+x undoes the multiplication by z+x.
