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