Solve -yx=3

$$- y x = 3$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{3}{y}$$

$$y\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by -y.

$$\frac{\left(-y\right)x}{-y}=\frac{3}{-y}$$

Dividing by -y undoes the multiplication by -y.

$$x=\frac{3}{-y}$$

Divide 3 by -y.

$$x=-\frac{3}{y}$$

Solve for y

$$y=-\frac{3}{x}$$

$$x\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reorder the terms.

$$-xy=3$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$\left(-x\right)y=3$$

Divide both sides by -x.

$$\frac{\left(-x\right)y}{-x}=\frac{3}{-x}$$

Dividing by -x undoes the multiplication by -x.

$$y=\frac{3}{-x}$$

Divide 3 by -x.

$$y=-\frac{3}{x}$$
