-5x=-8+2y
Add 2y to both sides.
-5x=2y-8
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{2y-8}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=\frac{2y-8}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
x=\frac{8-2y}{5}
Divide -8+2y by -5.
-2y=-8+5x
Add 5x to both sides.
-2y=5x-8
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{5x-8}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
y=\frac{5x-8}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
y=-\frac{5x}{2}+4
Divide -8+5x by -2.
