1-2y=x+3y
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
x+3y=1-2y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=1-2y-3y
Subtract 3y from both sides.
x=1-5y
Combine -2y and -3y to get -5y.
1-2y=x+3y
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
1-2y-3y=x
Subtract 3y from both sides.
1-5y=x
Combine -2y and -3y to get -5y.
-5y=x-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{x-1}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{x-1}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=\frac{1-x}{5}
Divide x-1 by -5.
