-15x=45-5y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-15x}{-15}=\frac{45-5y}{-15}
Divide both sides by -15.
x=\frac{45-5y}{-15}
Dividing by -15 undoes the multiplication by -15.
x=\frac{y}{3}-3
Divide -5y+45 by -15.
5y-45=15x
Add 15x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
5y=15x+45
Add 45 to both sides.
\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{15x+45}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
y=\frac{15x+45}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
y=3x+9
