xy-x=3y
Add 3y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(y-1\right)x=3y
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(y-1\right)x}{y-1}=\frac{3y}{y-1}
Divide both sides by y-1.
x=\frac{3y}{y-1}
Dividing by y-1 undoes the multiplication by y-1.
xy-3y=x
Add x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(x-3\right)y=x
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(x-3\right)y}{x-3}=\frac{x}{x-3}
Divide both sides by x-3.
y=\frac{x}{x-3}
Dividing by x-3 undoes the multiplication by x-3.
