Yep, a clerical error. Here is a bit more step by step with what I came out with:



Basically I started with your second line (can't read the first).

I subtracted both sides to gather like terms (in this case, the dx / dy on one side, everything else on the other).

dx/dy were on both parts of the left side so I simply moved the multiply operation to the left of the parenthesis.

Divide both sides by what is in the parenthesis.

Now, a little cleanup on the right side of the equals sign and done.

Thanks for the moment of math! Do I get a gold star?
