17x-2x-3y=4
To find the opposite of 2x+3y, find the opposite of each term.
15x-3y=4
Combine 17x and -2x to get 15x.
15x=4+3y
Add 3y to both sides.
15x=3y+4
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{3y+4}{15}
Divide both sides by 15.
x=\frac{3y+4}{15}
Dividing by 15 undoes the multiplication by 15.
x=\frac{y}{5}+\frac{4}{15}
Divide 4+3y by 15.
17x-2x-3y=4
To find the opposite of 2x+3y, find the opposite of each term.
15x-3y=4
Combine 17x and -2x to get 15x.
-3y=4-15x
Subtract 15x from both sides.
\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{4-15x}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
y=\frac{4-15x}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
y=5x-\frac{4}{3}
Divide 4-15x by -3.
