3\left(x-3\right)=y-5
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,6.
3x-9=y-5
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-3.
3x=y-5+9
Add 9 to both sides.
3x=y+4
Add -5 and 9 to get 4.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{y+4}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{y+4}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
3\left(x-3\right)=y-5
Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,6.
3x-9=y-5
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x-3.
y-5=3x-9
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
y=3x-9+5
Add 5 to both sides.
y=3x-4
Add -9 and 5 to get -4.
