Question:

%282x%2B3%29%2F%283a-y%29+=+2y+

Answer:
Your question is not complete.
What exactly you want to do with this question.

I assume that you want to write the value of 'a" in terms of x and y.


If it is so, here is the steps. In case your question is not the same, please submit the complete question.

%282x%2B3%29%2F%283a-y%29+=+2y+

Multiply both sides by ( 3a-y)

==> %283a+-+y%29%282x%2B3%29%2F%283a-y%29+=%283a+-+y%29+%2A+2y+


==> ++2x%2B3++=%283a+-+y%29+%2A+2y+


==> ++2x%2B3++=+3a%2A+2y+-+y+%2A2+y++

==> ++2x%2B3++=6ay+-+2y%5E2++


==> ++2x%2B3+%2B+2y%5E2+=+6ay+

Divide both sides by 6y


==> ++%282x%2B3+%2B+2y%5E2%29%2F6y+=+6ay%2F6y+



==> %282x%2B3+%2B+2y%5E2%29%2F6y+=++a++



Hope you found the explanation useful.
