3x-8yx+16y=5
Use the distributive property to multiply 2y by -4x+8.
3x-8yx=5-16y
Subtract 16y from both sides.
\left(3-8y\right)x=5-16y
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(3-8y\right)x}{3-8y}=\frac{5-16y}{3-8y}
Divide both sides by -8y+3.
x=\frac{5-16y}{3-8y}
Dividing by -8y+3 undoes the multiplication by -8y+3.
