y\left(-x+4\right)=2+\left(-x+4\right)\times 3
Variable x cannot be equal to 4 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by -x+4.
-yx+4y=2+\left(-x+4\right)\times 3
Use the distributive property to multiply y by -x+4.
-yx+4y=2-3x+12
Use the distributive property to multiply -x+4 by 3.
-yx+4y=14-3x
Add 2 and 12 to get 14.
-yx+4y+3x=14
Add 3x to both sides.
-yx+3x=14-4y
Subtract 4y from both sides.
\left(-y+3\right)x=14-4y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(3-y\right)x=14-4y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(3-y\right)x}{3-y}=\frac{14-4y}{3-y}
Divide both sides by -y+3.
x=\frac{14-4y}{3-y}
Dividing by -y+3 undoes the multiplication by -y+3.
x=\frac{2\left(7-2y\right)}{3-y}
Divide -4y+14 by -y+3.
x=\frac{2\left(7-2y\right)}{3-y}\text{, }x\neq 4
Variable x cannot be equal to 4.
