\left(xy+2x\right)\left(y-3\right)=-12
Use the distributive property to multiply x by y+2.
xy^{2}-xy-6x=-12
Use the distributive property to multiply xy+2x by y-3 and combine like terms.
\left(y^{2}-y-6\right)x=-12
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(y^{2}-y-6\right)x}{y^{2}-y-6}=-\frac{12}{y^{2}-y-6}
Divide both sides by y^{2}-y-6.
x=-\frac{12}{y^{2}-y-6}
Dividing by y^{2}-y-6 undoes the multiplication by y^{2}-y-6.
x=-\frac{12}{\left(y-3\right)\left(y+2\right)}
Divide -12 by y^{2}-y-6.
