3x=85.5+2y
Add 2y to both sides.
3x=2y+85.5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{2y+85.5}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{2y+85.5}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
x=\frac{2y}{3}+\frac{57}{2}
Divide 85.5+2y by 3.
-2y=85.5-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{85.5-3x}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
y=\frac{85.5-3x}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
y=\frac{3x}{2}-\frac{171}{4}
Divide 85.5-3x by -2.
