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