7x+5y=3y
Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
7x=3y-5y
Subtract 5y from both sides.
7x=-2y
Combine 3y and -5y to get -2y.
\frac{7x}{7}=-\frac{2y}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
x=-\frac{2y}{7}
Dividing by 7 undoes the multiplication by 7.
7x+5y=3y
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
7x+5y-3y=0
Subtract 3y from both sides.
7x+2y=0
Combine 5y and -3y to get 2y.
2y=-7x
Subtract 7x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\frac{2y}{2}=-\frac{7x}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=-\frac{7x}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
y=-\frac{7x}{2}\text{, }y\neq 0
Variable y cannot be equal to 0.
