1=yx+y\times 3
Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
yx+y\times 3=1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
yx=1-y\times 3
Subtract y\times 3 from both sides.
yx=1-3y
Multiply -1 and 3 to get -3.
\frac{yx}{y}=\frac{1-3y}{y}
Divide both sides by y.
x=\frac{1-3y}{y}
Dividing by y undoes the multiplication by y.
x=-3+\frac{1}{y}
Divide -3y+1 by y.
1=yx+y\times 3
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
yx+y\times 3=1
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(x+3\right)y=1
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(x+3\right)y}{x+3}=\frac{1}{x+3}
Divide both sides by x+3.
y=\frac{1}{x+3}
Dividing by x+3 undoes the multiplication by x+3.
y=\frac{1}{x+3}\text{, }y\neq 0
Variable y cannot be equal to 0.
