-ay=-1-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
\left(-y\right)a=-3x-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-y\right)a}{-y}=\frac{-3x-1}{-y}
Divide both sides by -y.
a=\frac{-3x-1}{-y}
Dividing by -y undoes the multiplication by -y.
a=\frac{3x+1}{y}
Divide -3x-1 by -y.
-ay=-1-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
\left(-y\right)a=-3x-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-y\right)a}{-y}=\frac{-3x-1}{-y}
Divide both sides by -y.
a=\frac{-3x-1}{-y}
Dividing by -y undoes the multiplication by -y.
a=\frac{3x+1}{y}
Divide -1-3x by -y.
3x=-1+ay
Add ay to both sides.
3x=ay-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{ay-1}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{ay-1}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
