y\times 2\left(x-3\right)=8x+3
Variable x cannot be equal to 3 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2\left(x-3\right).
2yx-3y\times 2=8x+3
Use the distributive property to multiply y\times 2 by x-3.
2yx-6y=8x+3
Multiply -3 and 2 to get -6.
2yx-6y-8x=3
Subtract 8x from both sides.
2yx-8x=3+6y
Add 6y to both sides.
\left(2y-8\right)x=3+6y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(2y-8\right)x=6y+3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2y-8\right)x}{2y-8}=\frac{6y+3}{2y-8}
Divide both sides by 2y-8.
x=\frac{6y+3}{2y-8}
Dividing by 2y-8 undoes the multiplication by 2y-8.
x=\frac{3\left(2y+1\right)}{2\left(y-4\right)}
Divide 3+6y by 2y-8.
x=\frac{3\left(2y+1\right)}{2\left(y-4\right)}\text{, }x\neq 3
Variable x cannot be equal to 3.
