-3x-34=-5y
Subtract 5y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-3x=-5y+34
Add 34 to both sides.
-3x=34-5y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{34-5y}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=\frac{34-5y}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
x=\frac{5y-34}{3}
Divide -5y+34 by -3.
5y-34=3x
Add 3x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
5y=3x+34
Add 34 to both sides.
\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{3x+34}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
y=\frac{3x+34}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
