2x+8=-3y
Subtract 3y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
2x=-3y-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-3y-8}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{-3y-8}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=-\frac{3y}{2}-4
Divide -3y-8 by 2.
3y+8=-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
3y=-2x-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{-2x-8}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
y=\frac{-2x-8}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
