-2x=3y-9-5y
Subtract 5y from both sides.
-2x=-2y-9
Combine 3y and -5y to get -2y.
\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{-2y-9}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{-2y-9}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
x=y+\frac{9}{2}
Divide -2y-9 by -2.
-2x+5y-3y=-9
Subtract 3y from both sides.
-2x+2y=-9
Combine 5y and -3y to get 2y.
2y=-9+2x
Add 2x to both sides.
2y=2x-9
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{2x-9}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{2x-9}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
y=x-\frac{9}{2}
Divide -9+2x by 2.
