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