\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{6-5y}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{6-5y}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
x=-\frac{5y}{3}+2
Divide -5y+6 by 3.
5y-6=-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
5y=-3x+6
Add 6 to both sides.
5y=6-3x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{6-3x}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
y=\frac{6-3x}{5}
