3x+2y-5x=-7y
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-2x+2y=-7y
Combine 3x and -5x to get -2x.
-2x=-7y-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides.
-2x=-9y
Combine -7y and -2y to get -9y.
\frac{-2x}{-2}=-\frac{9y}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=-\frac{9y}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
x=\frac{9y}{2}
Divide -9y by -2.
3x+2y+7y=5x
Add 7y to both sides.
3x+9y=5x
Combine 2y and 7y to get 9y.
9y=5x-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
9y=2x
Combine 5x and -3x to get 2x.
\frac{9y}{9}=\frac{2x}{9}
Divide both sides by 9.
y=\frac{2x}{9}
Dividing by 9 undoes the multiplication by 9.
