I kind of do not get if the equation you want is x2y=3, but just feel free to remind me if I misread your question.

Explanation:

The important thing to do is to use cross-multiply to help the values in the first equation; since there is a constant (number) equal to it.

x=6y

Move it over to make it into a monomial.

x6y=0

And since this the negative conjugate to the polynomial equation given, we can infer that the equation is equal to 0; according to the zero property of multiplication.

x236y2=(x+6y)(x6y)

(x6y)=0;

x236y2=0
