2x=8+5y
Add 5y to both sides.
2x=5y+8
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{5y+8}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{5y+8}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=\frac{5y}{2}+4
Divide 8+5y by 2.
-5y=8-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{8-2x}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{8-2x}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=\frac{2x-8}{5}
Divide 8-2x by -5.
