5x-5y+3y=2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x-y.
5x-2y=2x
Combine -5y and 3y to get -2y.
5x-2y-2x=0
Subtract 2x from both sides.
3x-2y=0
Combine 5x and -2x to get 3x.
3x=2y
Add 2y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{2y}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{2y}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
5x-5y+3y=2x
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x-y.
5x-2y=2x

-2y=2x-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides.
-2y=-3x
Combine 2x and -5x to get -3x.
\frac{-2y}{-2}=-\frac{3x}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
y=-\frac{3x}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
y=\frac{3x}{2}
Divide -3x by -2.
