quick simple question

Rearange to find x in terms of y and t, in simplest form. (assume [math]y+3t\neq0[/math])

 

[math]y(y-x)=3t(3t+x)[/math]

 

I have

 

[math]x=\frac{9t^2-y^2}{3t+y}[/math]

 

Is this the simplest form?

No, the term can be simplified. Your result is not correct, either (sign error).

You'll need to make use of the difference of perfect squares in the numerator. Although, you do have a sign error. Btw, show your work.
