It is not possible, in general to solve one equation in two unknown variables. The best that you can do is rewrite the eqaution so that one variable is defined in terms of the other.

xy = x - x2 = x(1 - x)

Assuming x not 0 (else the original equation degerates to 0 = 0)

we can divide both sides by x to give: y = 1 - x
