z-1-x-xy=y-1
Subtract xy from both sides.
-1-x-xy=y-1-z
Subtract z from both sides.
-x-xy=y-1-z+1
Add 1 to both sides.
-x-xy=y-z
Add -1 and 1 to get 0.
\left(-1-y\right)x=y-z
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(-y-1\right)x=y-z
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-y-1\right)x}{-y-1}=\frac{y-z}{-y-1}
Divide both sides by -y-1.
x=\frac{y-z}{-y-1}
Dividing by -y-1 undoes the multiplication by -y-1.
x=-\frac{y-z}{y+1}
Divide y-z by -y-1.
y-1+xy=z-1-x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
y+xy=z-1-x+1
Add 1 to both sides.
y+xy=z-x
Add -1 and 1 to get 0.
\left(1+x\right)y=z-x
Combine all terms containing y.
\left(x+1\right)y=z-x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(x+1\right)y}{x+1}=\frac{z-x}{x+1}
Divide both sides by 1+x.
y=\frac{z-x}{x+1}
Dividing by 1+x undoes the multiplication by 1+x.
