-\left(x+3\right)y=x^{2}-x-2
Multiply both sides of the equation by x+3.
-\left(xy+3y\right)=x^{2}-x-2
Use the distributive property to multiply x+3 by y.
-xy-3y=x^{2}-x-2
To find the opposite of xy+3y, find the opposite of each term.
\left(-x-3\right)y=x^{2}-x-2
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(-x-3\right)y}{-x-3}=\frac{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}{-x-3}
Divide both sides by -x-3.
y=\frac{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}{-x-3}
Dividing by -x-3 undoes the multiplication by -x-3.
y=-\frac{\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)}{x+3}
Divide \left(-2+x\right)\left(1+x\right) by -x-3.
