4x-yx-5y-2yx=16
Subtract 2yx from both sides.
4x-3yx-5y=16
Combine -yx and -2yx to get -3yx.
4x-3yx=16+5y
Add 5y to both sides.
\left(4-3y\right)x=16+5y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(4-3y\right)x=5y+16
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(4-3y\right)x}{4-3y}=\frac{5y+16}{4-3y}
Divide both sides by -3y+4.
x=\frac{5y+16}{4-3y}
Dividing by -3y+4 undoes the multiplication by -3y+4.
4x-yx-5y-2yx=16
Subtract 2yx from both sides.
4x-3yx-5y=16
Combine -yx and -2yx to get -3yx.
-3yx-5y=16-4x
Subtract 4x from both sides.
\left(-3x-5\right)y=16-4x
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(-3x-5\right)y}{-3x-5}=\frac{16-4x}{-3x-5}
Divide both sides by -3x-5.
y=\frac{16-4x}{-3x-5}
Dividing by -3x-5 undoes the multiplication by -3x-5.
y=-\frac{4\left(4-x\right)}{3x+5}
Divide 16-4x by -3x-5.
