-------------------
Solve for y
y*(a-b) = c*(y+a)
I have isolated y on the left by multiplying by 1/(a-b) on both sides.
Thank you.

The variable y is on both sides. Both sides show possible use for Distributive Property.
ay-by=cy%2Bac
ay-by-cy=ac
y%28a-b-c%29=ac
%281%2F%28a-b-c%29%29y%28a-b-c%29=ac%281%2F%28a-b-c%29%29
highlight%28y=ac%2F%28a-b-c%29%29
