Basic Math Examples

$\frac{1 - y}{y - 1}$

Step 1

Rewrite $1$ as $- 1 (- 1)$ .

$\frac{- 1 (- 1) - y}{y - 1}$

Step 2

Factor $- 1$ out of $- y$ .

$\frac{- 1 (- 1) - (y)}{y - 1}$

Step 3

Factor $- 1$ out of $- 1 (- 1) - (y)$ .

$\frac{- 1 (- 1 + y)}{y - 1}$

Step 4

Reorder terms.

$\frac{- 1 (y - 1)}{y - 1}$

Step 5

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 1 (y - 1)}{y - 1}$

Step 6

Divide $- 1$ by $1$ .

$- 1$
