2x-8z=3y
Add 3y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
2x=3y+8z
Add 8z to both sides.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{3y+8z}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{3y+8z}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=\frac{3y}{2}+4z
Divide 3y+8z by 2.
-3y-8z=-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-3y=-2x+8z
Add 8z to both sides.
-3y=8z-2x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{8z-2x}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
y=\frac{8z-2x}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
y=\frac{2x-8z}{3}
Divide -2x+8z by -3.
