2x+3=-y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x=-y-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-y-3}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{-y-3}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
-y=2x+3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{2x+3}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{2x+3}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=-2x-3
Divide 2x+3 by -1.
