\frac{2}{3}x=-\frac{3y}{5}+5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\frac{2}{3}x}{\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{-\frac{3y}{5}+5}{\frac{2}{3}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{2}{3}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{-\frac{3y}{5}+5}{\frac{2}{3}}
Dividing by \frac{2}{3} undoes the multiplication by \frac{2}{3}.
x=-\frac{9y}{10}+\frac{15}{2}
Divide 5-\frac{3y}{5} by \frac{2}{3} by multiplying 5-\frac{3y}{5} by the reciprocal of \frac{2}{3}.
5-\frac{3}{5}y=\frac{2}{3}x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{3}{5}y=\frac{2}{3}x-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
-\frac{3}{5}y=\frac{2x}{3}-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-\frac{3}{5}y}{-\frac{3}{5}}=\frac{\frac{2x}{3}-5}{-\frac{3}{5}}
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{3}{5}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
y=\frac{\frac{2x}{3}-5}{-\frac{3}{5}}
Dividing by -\frac{3}{5} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{3}{5}.
y=-\frac{10x}{9}+\frac{25}{3}
Divide \frac{2x}{3}-5 by -\frac{3}{5} by multiplying \frac{2x}{3}-5 by the reciprocal of -\frac{3}{5}.
