4x_{1}+2x_{1}x_{3}=-6
Subtract 6 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(4+2x_{3}\right)x_{1}=-6
Combine all terms containing x_{1}.
\left(2x_{3}+4\right)x_{1}=-6
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2x_{3}+4\right)x_{1}}{2x_{3}+4}=-\frac{6}{2x_{3}+4}
Divide both sides by 4+2x_{3}.
x_{1}=-\frac{6}{2x_{3}+4}
Dividing by 4+2x_{3} undoes the multiplication by 4+2x_{3}.
x_{1}=-\frac{3}{x_{3}+2}
Divide -6 by 4+2x_{3}.
6+2x_{1}x_{3}=-4x_{1}
Subtract 4x_{1} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
2x_{1}x_{3}=-4x_{1}-6
Subtract 6 from both sides.
\frac{2x_{1}x_{3}}{2x_{1}}=\frac{-4x_{1}-6}{2x_{1}}
Divide both sides by 2x_{1}.
x_{3}=\frac{-4x_{1}-6}{2x_{1}}
Dividing by 2x_{1} undoes the multiplication by 2x_{1}.
x_{3}=-2-\frac{3}{x_{1}}
Divide -4x_{1}-6 by 2x_{1}.
