2\sqrt{-x+5}+3=y
To find the opposite of x-5, find the opposite of each term.
2\sqrt{-x+5}=y-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
\frac{2\sqrt{-x+5}}{2}=\frac{y-3}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
\sqrt{-x+5}=\frac{y-3}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
-x+5=\frac{\left(y-3\right)^{2}}{4}
Square both sides of the equation.
-x+5-5=\frac{\left(y-3\right)^{2}}{4}-5
Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.
-x=\frac{\left(y-3\right)^{2}}{4}-5
Subtracting 5 from itself leaves 0.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{\frac{\left(y-3\right)^{2}}{4}-5}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{\frac{\left(y-3\right)^{2}}{4}-5}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=-\frac{\left(y-3\right)^{2}}{4}+5
Divide \frac{\left(y-3\right)^{2}}{4}-5 by -1.
