y\left(3x-5\right)=2x+3
Variable x cannot be equal to \frac{5}{3} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3x-5.
3yx-5y=2x+3
Use the distributive property to multiply y by 3x-5.
3yx-5y-2x=3
Subtract 2x from both sides.
3yx-2x=3+5y
Add 5y to both sides.
\left(3y-2\right)x=3+5y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(3y-2\right)x=5y+3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(3y-2\right)x}{3y-2}=\frac{5y+3}{3y-2}
Divide both sides by 3y-2.
x=\frac{5y+3}{3y-2}
Dividing by 3y-2 undoes the multiplication by 3y-2.
x=\frac{5y+3}{3y-2}\text{, }x\neq \frac{5}{3}
Variable x cannot be equal to \frac{5}{3}.
