y\left(x+2\right)=2
Variable x cannot be equal to -2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+2.
yx+2y=2
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x+2.
yx=2-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides.
\frac{yx}{y}=\frac{2-2y}{y}
Divide both sides by y.
x=\frac{2-2y}{y}
Dividing by y undoes the multiplication by y.
x=-2+\frac{2}{y}
Divide 2-2y by y.
x=-2+\frac{2}{y}\text{, }x\neq -2
Variable x cannot be equal to -2.
