-5+2x=-3y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x=-3y+5
Add 5 to both sides.
2x=5-3y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{5-3y}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{5-3y}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
-3y=2x-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{2x-5}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
y=\frac{2x-5}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
y=\frac{5-2x}{3}
Divide -5+2x by -3.
