y^2 - y + c / y + 1 = y - 2
Multiply both sides by y + 1 yields:
y^2 - y + c = (y+1)(y-2)
Adding -y^2 and +y to both sides yields:
c = (y+1)(y-2) -y^2 +y
Removing the parentheses yields:
c = y^2 -y -2 -y^2 +y
Adding all like terms yields:
c = -2

I hope that is right.

y^2 - y + c divided by y + 1 = y-2
Dividing by y+1 gives a quotient of y-2 with a remaincer of (c+2)
You want c+2 = 0
You want c=-2
