Answer

$y=\frac{a}{9+3x}$, where $x\neq 0$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow a=9y+3yx$ Use distributive property. $\Rightarrow a=y(9+3x)$ Divide both sides by $9+3x$. $\Rightarrow \frac{a}{9+3x}=\frac{y(9+3x)}{9+3x}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow \frac{a}{9+3x}=y$ Hence, the rewritten literal equation is $y=\frac{a}{9+3x}$, where $x\neq 0$.
