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

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