2x+3y-5x=-y
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-3x+3y=-y
Combine 2x and -5x to get -3x.
-3x=-y-3y
Subtract 3y from both sides.
-3x=-4y
Combine -y and -3y to get -4y.
\frac{-3x}{-3}=-\frac{4y}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=-\frac{4y}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
x=\frac{4y}{3}
Divide -4y by -3.
2x+3y+y=5x
Add y to both sides.
2x+4y=5x
Combine 3y and y to get 4y.
4y=5x-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
4y=3x
Combine 5x and -2x to get 3x.
\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{3x}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
y=\frac{3x}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
