y\left(x-4\right)=1+\left(x-4\right)\times 3
Variable x cannot be equal to 4 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x-4.
yx-4y=1+\left(x-4\right)\times 3
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x-4.
yx-4y=1+3x-12
Use the distributive property to multiply x-4 by 3.
yx-4y=-11+3x
Subtract 12 from 1 to get -11.
yx-4y-3x=-11
Subtract 3x from both sides.
yx-3x=-11+4y
Add 4y to both sides.
\left(y-3\right)x=-11+4y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(y-3\right)x=4y-11
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(y-3\right)x}{y-3}=\frac{4y-11}{y-3}
Divide both sides by y-3.
x=\frac{4y-11}{y-3}
Dividing by y-3 undoes the multiplication by y-3.
x=\frac{4y-11}{y-3}\text{, }x\neq 4
Variable x cannot be equal to 4.
