3x-5=y
Add y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
3x=y+5
Add 5 to 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
Add 5 to both sides.
-y=5-3x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{5-3x}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{5-3x}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=3x-5
Divide -3x+5 by -1.
