Simple math equation I couldnt do. solve for y. x = y-2/1-y?

If x= (y-2)/(1-y) then multiply by (1-y)

X(1-y)= y-2

X-xy= y-2

X+2= y+xy

X+2= y(1+x)

(X+2)/(x+1)= y

Hoping this helps!

x=y-(2/1)-y

Step 1: the y cancel each other out

x=-(2/1)

Step 2: You multiply the 1 to the other side. To cancel out

x(1)=-2

Answer x=-2

As written, you can't solve for y because y - 2/1 - y = y - 2 - y = -2 (i.e., x = -2). y - y is 0.

But if you mean x = (y - 2) / (1 - y)...

x(1 - y) = y - 2 (Multiply both sides by (1 - y))

x - xy = y - 2 (Finish expansion of the left side)

x = xy + y - 2 (Add xy to both sides)

x + 2 = xy + y (Add 2 to both sides)

x + 2 = y(x + 1) (Factor y out from the right side)

y = (x + 2)/(x + 1) (Divide both sides by (x + 1)).

Watch out for lack of parentheses!

assume it's x = (y-2)/(1-y)

x(1-y)=y-2

x-xy=y-2

solve for y
