y\left(-x+3\right)=6
Variable x cannot be equal to 3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -x+3.
-yx+3y=6
Use the distributive property to multiply y by -x+3.
-yx=6-3y
Subtract 3y from both sides.
\left(-y\right)x=6-3y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-y\right)x}{-y}=\frac{6-3y}{-y}
Divide both sides by -y.
x=\frac{6-3y}{-y}
Dividing by -y undoes the multiplication by -y.
x=3-\frac{6}{y}
Divide 6-3y by -y.
x=3-\frac{6}{y}\text{, }x\neq 3
Variable x cannot be equal to 3.
