x\left(-1\right)+y\left(-3\right)=5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x\left(-1\right)=5-y\left(-3\right)
Subtract y\left(-3\right) from both sides.
x\left(-1\right)=5+3y
Multiply -1 and -3 to get 3.
-x=3y+5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{3y+5}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{3y+5}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=-3y-5
Divide 5+3y by -1.
x\left(-1\right)+y\left(-3\right)=5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
y\left(-3\right)=5-x\left(-1\right)
Subtract x\left(-1\right) from both sides.
y\left(-3\right)=5+x
Multiply -1 and -1 to get 1.
-3y=x+5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{x+5}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
y=\frac{x+5}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
y=\frac{-x-5}{3}
Divide 5+x by -3.
