\frac{3}{2}x=-2+\frac{5}{2}y
Add \frac{5}{2}y to both sides.
\frac{3}{2}x=\frac{5y}{2}-2
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\frac{3}{2}x}{\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{\frac{5y}{2}-2}{\frac{3}{2}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{3}{2}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{\frac{5y}{2}-2}{\frac{3}{2}}
Dividing by \frac{3}{2} undoes the multiplication by \frac{3}{2}.
x=\frac{5y-4}{3}
Divide -2+\frac{5y}{2} by \frac{3}{2} by multiplying -2+\frac{5y}{2} by the reciprocal of \frac{3}{2}.
