2x=y-3-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
2x=y-8
Subtract 5 from -3 to get -8.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{y-8}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{y-8}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=\frac{y}{2}-4
Divide y-8 by 2.
y-3=2x+5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
y=2x+5+3
Add 3 to both sides.
y=2x+8
Add 5 and 3 to get 8.
