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