5-3x=2y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-3x=2y-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{2y-5}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=\frac{2y-5}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
x=\frac{5-2y}{3}
Divide 2y-5 by -3.
2y=5-3x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{5-3x}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{5-3x}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
