2x-6y-5x=0
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-3x-6y=0
Combine 2x and -5x to get -3x.
-3x=6y
Add 6y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{6y}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=\frac{6y}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
x=-2y
Divide 6y by -3.
-6y=5x-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
-6y=3x
Combine 5x and -2x to get 3x.
\frac{-6y}{-6}=\frac{3x}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
y=\frac{3x}{-6}
Dividing by -6 undoes the multiplication by -6.
y=-\frac{x}{2}
Divide 3x by -6.
