Factor the polynomial $xy-x$ by it's greatest common factor (GCF): $x$
Divide both sides of the equation by $x$
Simplify the fraction $\frac{x\left(y-1\right)}{x}$ by $x$
We need to isolate the dependent variable $y$, we can do that by simultaneously subtracting $-1$ from both sides of the equation
Multiply $-1$ times $-1$
