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