-\frac{2}{3}x+1=5y
Add 5y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
-\frac{2}{3}x=5y-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\frac{-\frac{2}{3}x}{-\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{5y-1}{-\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{5y-1}{-\frac{2}{3}}
Dividing by -\frac{2}{3} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{2}{3}.
x=\frac{3-15y}{2}
Divide 5y-1 by -\frac{2}{3} by multiplying 5y-1 by the reciprocal of -\frac{2}{3}.
-5y+1=\frac{2}{3}x
Add \frac{2}{3}x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
-5y=\frac{2}{3}x-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
-5y=\frac{2x}{3}-1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{\frac{2x}{3}-1}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{\frac{2x}{3}-1}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=-\frac{2x}{15}+\frac{1}{5}
Divide \frac{2x}{3}-1 by -5.
