Assuming your equation looks like this:

you can multiply both sides by (x+y)

the x+y factor on the right hand side will cancel out leaving you with

Then, distribute the s among the (x+y) factor on the left hand side

move the sx term to the right by subtracting it from both sides

which wil leave you with

then finally divide both sides by s to isolate y

which could also be expressed as
