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