y\left(x+2\right)=3+\left(x+2\right)\times 2
Variable x cannot be equal to -2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+2.
yx+2y=3+\left(x+2\right)\times 2
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x+2.
yx+2y=3+2x+4
Use the distributive property to multiply x+2 by 2.
yx+2y=7+2x
Add 3 and 4 to get 7.
yx+2y-2x=7
Subtract 2x from both sides.
yx-2x=7-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides.
\left(y-2\right)x=7-2y
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(y-2\right)x}{y-2}=\frac{7-2y}{y-2}
Divide both sides by y-2.
x=\frac{7-2y}{y-2}
Dividing by y-2 undoes the multiplication by y-2.
x=\frac{7-2y}{y-2}\text{, }x\neq -2
Variable x cannot be equal to -2.
