Subtract 2 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
3x=-2+y
Add y to both sides.
3x=y-2
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{y-2}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{y-2}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
2-y=-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-y=-3x-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{-3x-2}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{-3x-2}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=3x+2
Divide -3x-2 by -1.
