\frac{5}{2}x-y=5-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
\frac{5}{2}x-y=3
Subtract 2 from 5 to get 3.
\frac{5}{2}x=3+y
Add y to both sides.
\frac{5}{2}x=y+3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\frac{5}{2}x}{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{y+3}{\frac{5}{2}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{5}{2}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y+3}{\frac{5}{2}}
Dividing by \frac{5}{2} undoes the multiplication by \frac{5}{2}.
x=\frac{2y+6}{5}
Divide 3+y by \frac{5}{2} by multiplying 3+y by the reciprocal of \frac{5}{2}.
\frac{5}{2}x-y=5-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
\frac{5}{2}x-y=3
Subtract 2 from 5 to get 3.
-y=3-\frac{5}{2}x
Subtract \frac{5}{2}x from both sides.
-y=-\frac{5x}{2}+3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{-\frac{5x}{2}+3}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{-\frac{5x}{2}+3}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=\frac{5x}{2}-3
Divide 3-\frac{5x}{2} by -1.
