8x-2y=5x-3
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 4x-y.
8x-2y-5x=-3
Subtract 5x from both sides.
3x-2y=-3
Combine 8x and -5x to get 3x.
3x=-3+2y
Add 2y to both sides.
3x=2y-3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{2y-3}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{2y-3}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
x=\frac{2y}{3}-1
Divide -3+2y by 3.
8x-2y=5x-3
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 4x-y.
-2y=5x-3-8x
Subtract 8x from both sides.
-2y=-3x-3
Combine 5x and -8x to get -3x.
\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{-3x-3}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
y=\frac{-3x-3}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
y=\frac{3x+3}{2}
Divide -3x-3 by -2.
