11y\left(x-3\right)=5x
Variable x cannot be equal to 3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x-3.
11yx-33y=5x
Use the distributive property to multiply 11y by x-3.
11yx-33y-5x=0
Subtract 5x from both sides.
11yx-5x=33y
Add 33y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(11y-5\right)x=33y
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(11y-5\right)x}{11y-5}=\frac{33y}{11y-5}
Divide both sides by 11y-5.
x=\frac{33y}{11y-5}
Dividing by 11y-5 undoes the multiplication by 11y-5.
x=\frac{33y}{11y-5}\text{, }x\neq 3
Variable x cannot be equal to 3.
11y\left(x-3\right)=5x
Multiply both sides of the equation by x-3.
11yx-33y=5x
Use the distributive property to multiply 11y by x-3.
\left(11x-33\right)y=5x
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(11x-33\right)y}{11x-33}=\frac{5x}{11x-33}
Divide both sides by 11x-33.
y=\frac{5x}{11x-33}
Dividing by 11x-33 undoes the multiplication by 11x-33.
y=\frac{5x}{11\left(x-3\right)}
Divide 5x by 11x-33.
