3x=-12+5y
Add 5y to both sides.
3x=5y-12
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{5y-12}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{5y-12}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
x=\frac{5y}{3}-4
Divide -12+5y by 3.
-5y=-12-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-5y=-3x-12
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{-3x-12}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{-3x-12}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=\frac{3x+12}{5}
Divide -12-3x by -5.
