x-yx=3
Subtract yx from both sides.
\left(1-y\right)x=3
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(1-y\right)x}{1-y}=\frac{3}{1-y}
Divide both sides by -y+1.
x=\frac{3}{1-y}
Dividing by -y+1 undoes the multiplication by -y+1.
yx+3=x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
yx=x-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
xy=x-3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xy}{x}=\frac{x-3}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
y=\frac{x-3}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
