x\left(x+2\right)\left(x^{2}-3x\right)=y\left(x-3\right)
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by xy\left(x+2\right), the least common multiple of y,x^{2}+2x.
\left(x^{2}+2x\right)\left(x^{2}-3x\right)=y\left(x-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply x by x+2.
x^{4}-x^{3}-6x^{2}=y\left(x-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply x^{2}+2x by x^{2}-3x and combine like terms.
x^{4}-x^{3}-6x^{2}=yx-3y
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x-3.
yx-3y=x^{4}-x^{3}-6x^{2}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(x-3\right)y=x^{4}-x^{3}-6x^{2}
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(x-3\right)y}{x-3}=\frac{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+2\right)x^{2}}{x-3}
Divide both sides by -3+x.
y=\frac{\left(x-3\right)\left(x+2\right)x^{2}}{x-3}
Dividing by -3+x undoes the multiplication by -3+x.
y=\left(x+2\right)x^{2}
Divide \left(-3+x\right)\left(2+x\right)x^{2} by -3+x.
y=\left(x+2\right)x^{2}\text{, }y\neq 0
Variable y cannot be equal to 0.
