Consider the equation:

\n

\\[\\simplify{x^{{n1}}*y + {n2}*y*x} = \\simplify{{n3}*y} + \\var{n4}\\]

\n

Re-arrange this equation to make $y$ the subject:

\n

$y = $[[0]]

It may be helpful to factor out y. For example: 

\n

\\[\\simplify{x^{{n1}}*y+{n2}*y*x - {n3}*y}=y(\\simplify{x^{{n1}} + {n2}*x - {n3}})\\]

Here, we first have to collect all terms involving $y$ on the same side. Hence, we get:

\n

\\[\\simplify{x^{{n1}}*y+{n2}*y*x - {n3}*y} = \\var{n4}\\]

\n

We then spot that $y$ appears exactly once in each term on the left, so factorise:

\n

\\[y(\\simplify{x^{{n1}} + {n2}*x - {n3}}) = \\var{n4}\\]

\n

and simple division gives the answer.
