y\left(2x+3\right)=\frac{1}{2}x+3
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{3}{2} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2x+3.
2yx+3y=\frac{1}{2}x+3
Use the distributive property to multiply y by 2x+3.
2yx+3y-\frac{1}{2}x=3
Subtract \frac{1}{2}x from both sides.
2yx-\frac{1}{2}x=3-3y
Subtract 3y from both sides.
\left(2y-\frac{1}{2}\right)x=3-3y
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(2y-\frac{1}{2}\right)x}{2y-\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{3-3y}{2y-\frac{1}{2}}
Divide both sides by 2y-\frac{1}{2}.
x=\frac{3-3y}{2y-\frac{1}{2}}
Dividing by 2y-\frac{1}{2} undoes the multiplication by 2y-\frac{1}{2}.
x=\frac{6\left(1-y\right)}{4y-1}
Divide 3-3y by 2y-\frac{1}{2}.
x=\frac{6\left(1-y\right)}{4y-1}\text{, }x\neq -\frac{3}{2}
Variable x cannot be equal to -\frac{3}{2}.
