3x=17+5y
Add 5y to both sides.
3x=5y+17
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{5y+17}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{5y+17}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
-5y=17-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{17-3x}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{17-3x}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=\frac{3x-17}{5}
Divide 17-3x by -5.
