15x=8y+51
Add 51 to both sides.
\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{8y+51}{15}
Divide both sides by 15.
x=\frac{8y+51}{15}
Dividing by 15 undoes the multiplication by 15.
x=\frac{8y}{15}+\frac{17}{5}
Divide 8y+51 by 15.
-8y-51=-15x
Subtract 15x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-8y=-15x+51
Add 51 to both sides.
-8y=51-15x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-8y}{-8}=\frac{51-15x}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
y=\frac{51-15x}{-8}
Dividing by -8 undoes the multiplication by -8.
