euler-lagrange equation expansion

Euler-Lagrange equation



$$frac{partial f}{partial y}-frac{d}{dx}frac{partial f}{partial y'} = 0$$



Can also be written as



$$f'_y-f''_{xy'}-f''_{yy'}y'-f''_{y'y'}y''=0$$



In my book it is provided as a self-evident fact. It is not evident to me at all. Please help me with the derivation, I have no idea where to even start

          $y=y(x)$, $f=f(x,y,y')$. Then
          $$frac{d}{dx}frac{partial f}{partial y'}=frac{d}{dx}y'_{y'}(x,y,y')=
          f''_{xy'}+f''_{yy'}y'+f''_{y'y'}y''$$
