Answer:

y =
(A)/(3(3+x))

Explanation:

A = 9y + 3yx for y,

The first step is to factor out the terms on the right-hand side of the equation:

A = 3y(3 + x)

Next, divide both sides by 3(3 + x) to isolate y:


(A)/(3(3 + x)) = (3y(3 + x))/(3(3 + x)) or rewrite this as:
(A)/(3(3 + x)) = (y*3(3 + x))/(3(3 + x))

Since 3(3 + x) cancel out on the right-hand side of the equation, the only variable left will be the unknown, y.

Therefore, the final answer is:


(A)/(3(3 + x)) = y
