2x-16=-3y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x=-3y+16
Add 16 to both sides.
2x=16-3y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{16-3y}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{16-3y}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=-\frac{3y}{2}+8
Divide -3y+16 by 2.
-3y=2x-16
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{2x-16}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
y=\frac{2x-16}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
y=\frac{16-2x}{3}
Divide -16+2x by -3.
