Question

How do I solve for y in the following equation?

Answer 1

x=(x+1)(x+y)

Answer 2

\[x=(x+1)(x+y)\]?

Answer 3

and you want \(y\) right?

Answer 4

yes :)

Answer 5

takes two steps'
a) divide both sides by \(x+1\) to get
\[\frac{x}{x+1}=x+y\]

Answer 6

then
b) subtract \(x\) from both sides to get \(y\) by itself

Answer 7

you good with that?

Answer 8

umm x/1=y?

Answer 10

oh no dear, just subtract
\[\frac{x}{x+1}=x+y\\
\frac{x}{x+1}-x=y\]

Answer 11

ooh what next?

Answer 12

@misty1212

Answer 13

you got \(y\) on one side of the equal sign now right?

Answer 14

that solves if for \(y\) in other words you are done

Answer 15

only thing left to do is go have a beer or sommat
