-30x\left(y+20-x\right)=y\left(x-20\right)\times 6\left(x+5\right)
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y\left(x-20\right)\left(3x+5\right), the least common multiple of \left(3x+5\right)y\left(20-x\right),3x+5.
-30xy-600x+30x^{2}=y\left(x-20\right)\times 6\left(x+5\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply -30x by y+20-x.
-30xy-600x+30x^{2}=\left(yx-20y\right)\times 6\left(x+5\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x-20.
-30xy-600x+30x^{2}=\left(6yx-120y\right)\left(x+5\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply yx-20y by 6.
-30xy-600x+30x^{2}=6yx^{2}-90yx-600y
Use the distributive property to multiply 6yx-120y by x+5 and combine like terms.
-30xy-600x+30x^{2}-6yx^{2}=-90yx-600y
Subtract 6yx^{2} from both sides.
-30xy-600x+30x^{2}-6yx^{2}+90yx=-600y
Add 90yx to both sides.
-30xy-600x+30x^{2}-6yx^{2}+90yx+600y=0
Add 600y to both sides.
60xy-600x+30x^{2}-6yx^{2}+600y=0
Combine -30xy and 90yx to get 60xy.
60xy+30x^{2}-6yx^{2}+600y=600x
Add 600x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
60xy-6yx^{2}+600y=600x-30x^{2}
Subtract 30x^{2} from both sides.
\left(60x-6x^{2}+600\right)y=600x-30x^{2}
Combine all terms containing y.
\left(600+60x-6x^{2}\right)y=600x-30x^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(600+60x-6x^{2}\right)y}{600+60x-6x^{2}}=\frac{30x\left(20-x\right)}{600+60x-6x^{2}}
Divide both sides by 60x-6x^{2}+600.
y=\frac{30x\left(20-x\right)}{600+60x-6x^{2}}
Dividing by 60x-6x^{2}+600 undoes the multiplication by 60x-6x^{2}+600.
y=\frac{5x\left(20-x\right)}{100+10x-x^{2}}
Divide 30x\left(20-x\right) by 60x-6x^{2}+600.
y=\frac{5x\left(20-x\right)}{100+10x-x^{2}}\text{, }y\neq 0
Variable y cannot be equal to 0.
