Make (y) the subject of the formulae (O Level Maths Tuition)

Question:

Make (y) the subject of the formulae

(1) $\displaystyle x =\frac{y}{y+1}$

Solution:

$\displaystyle \frac{x}{1}=\frac{y}{y+1}$

Cross multiply,

$xy+x=y$

$xy-y=-x$

$y(x-1)=-x$

$\displaystyle y=\frac{-x}{x-1}=\frac{x}{1-x}$
