2x+2y=7y-3
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+y.
2x=7y-3-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides.
2x=5y-3
Combine 7y and -2y to get 5y.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{5y-3}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{5y-3}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
2x+2y=7y-3
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+y.
2x+2y-7y=-3
Subtract 7y from both sides.
2x-5y=-3
Combine 2y and -7y to get -5y.
-5y=-3-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-5y=-2x-3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{-2x-3}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{-2x-3}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=\frac{2x+3}{5}
Divide -3-2x by -5.
