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