3\left(x+y\right)+2=3xy+y\times 2
Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
3x+3y+2=3xy+y\times 2
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+y.
3x+3y+2-3xy=y\times 2
Subtract 3xy from both sides.
3x+2-3xy=y\times 2-3y
Subtract 3y from both sides.
3x+2-3xy=-y
Combine y\times 2 and -3y to get -y.
3x-3xy=-y-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
\left(3-3y\right)x=-y-2
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(3-3y\right)x}{3-3y}=\frac{-y-2}{3-3y}
Divide both sides by -3y+3.
x=\frac{-y-2}{3-3y}
Dividing by -3y+3 undoes the multiplication by -3y+3.
x=-\frac{y+2}{3\left(1-y\right)}
Divide -y-2 by -3y+3.
3\left(x+y\right)+2=3xy+y\times 2
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
3x+3y+2=3xy+y\times 2
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x+y.
3x+3y+2-3xy=y\times 2
Subtract 3xy from both sides.
3x+3y+2-3xy-y\times 2=0
Subtract y\times 2 from both sides.
3x+y+2-3xy=0
Combine 3y and -y\times 2 to get y.
y+2-3xy=-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
y-3xy=-3x-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
\left(1-3x\right)y=-3x-2
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(1-3x\right)y}{1-3x}=\frac{-3x-2}{1-3x}
Divide both sides by 1-3x.
y=\frac{-3x-2}{1-3x}
Dividing by 1-3x undoes the multiplication by 1-3x.
y=-\frac{3x+2}{1-3x}
Divide -3x-2 by 1-3x.
y=-\frac{3x+2}{1-3x}\text{, }y\neq 0
Variable y cannot be equal to 0.
