y\left(x-3\right)=2-x+\left(x-3\right)\times 4
Variable x cannot be equal to 3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x-3.
yx-3y=2-x+\left(x-3\right)\times 4
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x-3.
yx-3y=2-x+4x-12
Use the distributive property to multiply x-3 by 4.
yx-3y=2+3x-12
Combine -x and 4x to get 3x.
yx-3y=-10+3x
Subtract 12 from 2 to get -10.
yx-3y-3x=-10
Subtract 3x from both sides.
yx-3x=-10+3y
Add 3y to both sides.
\left(y-3\right)x=-10+3y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(y-3\right)x=3y-10
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(y-3\right)x}{y-3}=\frac{3y-10}{y-3}
Divide both sides by y-3.
x=\frac{3y-10}{y-3}
Dividing by y-3 undoes the multiplication by y-3.
x=\frac{3y-10}{y-3}\text{, }x\neq 3
Variable x cannot be equal to 3.
