The very simplest of algebra. What exactly is the help you need?

y%2Bv=%28n%2Fd%29%28x-p%29
dy%2Bdv=n%28x-p%29
dy%2Bdv=nx-np
dy-nx=-dv-np
nx-dy=dv-np-----------------this all in symbols, very general. You could do the very same steps, but with YOUR given equation; and miner simplifications.

-------
y%2B1=%282%2F3%29%28x-3%29

3%28y%2B1%29=2%28x-3%29
3y%2B3=2x-6
3y-2x=-6-3
highlight%282x-3y=9%29
