x^{2}y\left(x+3\right)-2xy\left(x+3\right)-12x\left(x+3\right)-3y\left(x+3\right)=-16
Multiply both sides of the equation by x+3.
yx^{3}+3x^{2}y-2xy\left(x+3\right)-12x\left(x+3\right)-3y\left(x+3\right)=-16
Use the distributive property to multiply x^{2}y by x+3.
yx^{3}+3x^{2}y-2yx^{2}-6xy-12x\left(x+3\right)-3y\left(x+3\right)=-16
Use the distributive property to multiply -2xy by x+3.
yx^{3}+x^{2}y-6xy-12x\left(x+3\right)-3y\left(x+3\right)=-16
Combine 3x^{2}y and -2yx^{2} to get x^{2}y.
yx^{3}+x^{2}y-6xy-12x^{2}-36x-3y\left(x+3\right)=-16
Use the distributive property to multiply -12x by x+3.
yx^{3}+x^{2}y-6xy-12x^{2}-36x-3yx-9y=-16
Use the distributive property to multiply -3y by x+3.
yx^{3}+x^{2}y-9xy-12x^{2}-36x-9y=-16
Combine -6xy and -3yx to get -9xy.
yx^{3}+x^{2}y-9xy-36x-9y=-16+12x^{2}
Add 12x^{2} to both sides.
yx^{3}+x^{2}y-9xy-9y=-16+12x^{2}+36x
Add 36x to both sides.
\left(x^{3}+x^{2}-9x-9\right)y=-16+12x^{2}+36x
Combine all terms containing y.
\left(x^{3}+x^{2}-9x-9\right)y=12x^{2}+36x-16
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(x^{3}+x^{2}-9x-9\right)y}{x^{3}+x^{2}-9x-9}=\frac{12x^{2}+36x-16}{x^{3}+x^{2}-9x-9}
Divide both sides by x^{3}-9+x^{2}-9x.
y=\frac{12x^{2}+36x-16}{x^{3}+x^{2}-9x-9}
Dividing by x^{3}-9+x^{2}-9x undoes the multiplication by x^{3}-9+x^{2}-9x.
y=\frac{4\left(3x^{2}+9x-4\right)}{x^{3}+x^{2}-9x-9}
Divide -16+12x^{2}+36x by x^{3}-9+x^{2}-9x.
