x\left(-5y+1\right)=3+4y
Variable y cannot be equal to \frac{1}{5} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -5y+1.
-5xy+x=3+4y
Use the distributive property to multiply x by -5y+1.
-5xy+x-4y=3
Subtract 4y from both sides.
-5xy-4y=3-x
Subtract x from both sides.
\left(-5x-4\right)y=3-x
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(-5x-4\right)y}{-5x-4}=\frac{3-x}{-5x-4}
Divide both sides by -5x-4.
y=\frac{3-x}{-5x-4}
Dividing by -5x-4 undoes the multiplication by -5x-4.
y=-\frac{3-x}{5x+4}
Divide 3-x by -5x-4.
y=-\frac{3-x}{5x+4}\text{, }y\neq \frac{1}{5}
Variable y cannot be equal to \frac{1}{5}.
