-3x=-5-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides.
-3x=-2y-5
The equation is in standard form.
\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{2y+5}{3}
Divide -5-2y by -3.
2y=-5+3x
Add 3x to both sides.
2y=3x-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{3x-5}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{3x-5}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
