x2-11xy-x=11y
:
Assume you want y in terms of x:
x^2 - 11xy - x = 11y
:
x^2 - x = 11xy + 11y; added 11xy to both sides
:
x(x-1) = 11y(x+1); factor out the common terms
:
%28x%28x-1%29%29%2F%28%28x%2B1%29%29 = 11y; divided both sides by (x+1)
:
y = %28x%28x-1%29%29%2F%2811%28x%2B1%29%29; divided both sides by 11
