y\left(x+3\right)=x+3
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=x+3
Use the distributive property to multiply y by x+3.
yx+3y-x=3
Subtract x from both sides.
yx-x=3-3y
Subtract 3y from both sides.
\left(y-1\right)x=3-3y
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(y-1\right)x}{y-1}=\frac{3-3y}{y-1}
Divide both sides by y-1.
x=\frac{3-3y}{y-1}
Dividing by y-1 undoes the multiplication by y-1.
x=-3
Divide 3-3y by y-1.
x\in \emptyset
Variable x cannot be equal to -3.
y=1
Cancel out x+3 in both numerator and denominator.
