3x+2=yx
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
3x+2-yx=0
Subtract yx from both sides.
3x-yx=-2
Subtract 2 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(3-y\right)x=-2
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(3-y\right)x}{3-y}=-\frac{2}{3-y}
Divide both sides by 3-y.
x=-\frac{2}{3-y}
Dividing by 3-y undoes the multiplication by 3-y.
x=-\frac{2}{3-y}\text{, }x\neq 0
Variable x cannot be equal to 0.
3x+2=yx
Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
yx=3x+2
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
xy=3x+2
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xy}{x}=\frac{3x+2}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
y=\frac{3x+2}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
y=3+\frac{2}{x}
Divide 3x+2 by x.
