can x= (y+2)/(3y-1) be simplified in the form y= ??? ?

Can "x = (y + 2) / (3y - 1)" be simplified in the form "y=" ?

and could you give some info on how to do it ?

What have you tried so far? If they'd given you this:

. . . . .\(\displaystyle -2\, =\, \dfrac{y\, +\, 2}{3y\, -\, 1}\)

...what would you have done, in order to solve for "y="? What did you get when you applied those same steps to the original equation?

Please be complete. Thank you! ;)
 
sorry I'm not following your question at all.
I'm blind to what the next step is to formulate the equation
in the form y=? - just don't see it- most probably will be
something stupidly simple :)

Sorry; I'd assumed that you'd seen rational equations before. Since you're not familiar with working with one-variable rational equations, you obviously aren't ready for two-variable rational equations or for rational functions. And, unfortunately, we cannot here provide you with the hours of classroom instruction you are requesting.

If you missed the last few of weeks in class, you may want to think about dropping the course. If you can't drop, then you may want to think about hiring a qualified local tutor and setting aside an hour or so a day for concentrated private lessons, so you can get caught up to the material.

Good luck! ;)
