Solve for x:
x - (x * y) = z
I believe the answer is x = z / (z - (z * y)), but I don't understand how I get that. Can someone show me how to solve this, step by step? Thank you. :)

Umm...different result, but here's how you get it:
x - (x*y) = z
x - xy = z
x(1 - y) = z
x = z/(1-y)
BTW:
z/(z- z*y) = z/(z[1-y]) = 1/(1-y), so thats not the same.
I see what I did. Thank you. :)
