2\left(x+1\right)=3\left(y-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,2.
2x+2=3\left(y-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+1.
2x+2=3y-3
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by y-1.
2x=3y-3-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
2x=3y-5
Subtract 2 from -3 to get -5.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{3y-5}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{3y-5}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
2\left(x+1\right)=3\left(y-1\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 3,2.
2x+2=3\left(y-1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+1.
2x+2=3y-3
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by y-1.
3y-3=2x+2
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
3y=2x+2+3
Add 3 to both sides.
3y=2x+5
Add 2 and 3 to get 5.
\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{2x+5}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
y=\frac{2x+5}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
