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