3x\left(y+7\right)=4
Multiply both sides of the equation by y+7.
3xy+21x=4
Use the distributive property to multiply 3x by y+7.
\left(3y+21\right)x=4
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(3y+21\right)x}{3y+21}=\frac{4}{3y+21}
Divide both sides by 3y+21.
x=\frac{4}{3y+21}
Dividing by 3y+21 undoes the multiplication by 3y+21.
x=\frac{4}{3\left(y+7\right)}
Divide 4 by 3y+21.
3x\left(y+7\right)=4
Variable y cannot be equal to -7 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y+7.
3xy+21x=4
Use the distributive property to multiply 3x by y+7.
3xy=4-21x
Subtract 21x from both sides.
\frac{3xy}{3x}=\frac{4-21x}{3x}
Divide both sides by 3x.
y=\frac{4-21x}{3x}
Dividing by 3x undoes the multiplication by 3x.
y=-7+\frac{4}{3x}
Divide 4-21x by 3x.
y=-7+\frac{4}{3x}\text{, }y\neq -7
Variable y cannot be equal to -7.
