You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if you have this:
%284%2B10%29%2Fy=+1%2F+3.........cross multiply
3%284%2B10%29=+1%2Ay
12%2B30=+y
42=+y

but, if you have this:

4%2B10%2Fy=+1%2F+3
10%2Fy=+1%2F3-4
10%2Fy=+1%2F3-12%2F3
10%2Fy=+-11%2F3........cross multiply
10%2A3=+-11y
30=+-11y
30%2F-11=+y
-2.73=+y
