xy = 22
1 1


Cross multiply:
xy * 1 = 1 * 22

Simplifying
xy * 1 = 1 * 22

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
1xy = 1 * 22

Multiply 1 * 22
1xy = 22

Solving
1xy = 22

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '1y'.
x = 22y-1

Simplifying
x = 22y-1
