\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{-3y-7}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{-3y-7}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
-3y=5x+7
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{5x+7}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
y=\frac{5x+7}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
y=\frac{-5x-7}{3}
Divide 5x+7 by -3.
