y\left(x+3\right)=8+\left(x+3\right)\left(-2\right)
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=8+\left(x+3\right)\left(-2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x+3.
yx+3y=8-2x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply x+3 by -2.
yx+3y=2-2x
Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.
yx+3y+2x=2
Add 2x to both sides.
yx+2x=2-3y
Subtract 3y from both sides.
\left(y+2\right)x=2-3y
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(y+2\right)x}{y+2}=\frac{2-3y}{y+2}
Divide both sides by y+2.
x=\frac{2-3y}{y+2}
Dividing by y+2 undoes the multiplication by y+2.
x=\frac{2-3y}{y+2}\text{, }x\neq -3
Variable x cannot be equal to -3.
