3x+5=y
Add y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
3x=y-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{y-5}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{y-5}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
-y+5=-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-y=-3x-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{-3x-5}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{-3x-5}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=3x+5
Divide -3x-5 by -1.
