First, isolate the term containing the y by rearranging the equation:

1/y = (3 – 2x)

Now, multiply both sides by y and simplify it:

y(1/y) = (3 – 2x)y

1 = y(3-2x)

Now, isolate y by dividing both sides by 3-2x

y = 1/(3 – 2x)

I hope that helps

3=2x+1/y

3-2x=1/y then take the inverse of both sides

y=1/(3-2x)

3=2x+1/y

3/2x=2x+1/y/2x

3/2x=1/y

(cross multiply)

3y=2x

3y/3=2x/3

y=2x/3
