yx-y-2x=3
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x-1.
yx-2x=3+y
Add y to both sides.
\left(y-2\right)x=3+y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(y-2\right)x=y+3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(y-2\right)x}{y-2}=\frac{y+3}{y-2}
Divide both sides by y-2.
x=\frac{y+3}{y-2}
Dividing by y-2 undoes the multiplication by y-2.
yx-y-2x=3
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x-1.
yx-y=3+2x
Add 2x to both sides.
\left(x-1\right)y=3+2x
Combine all terms containing y.
\left(x-1\right)y=2x+3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(x-1\right)y}{x-1}=\frac{2x+3}{x-1}
Divide both sides by x-1.
y=\frac{2x+3}{x-1}
Dividing by x-1 undoes the multiplication by x-1.
