5X=3Y
Add 3Y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\frac{5X}{5}=\frac{3Y}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
X=\frac{3Y}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
-3Y=-5X
Subtract 5X from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\frac{-3Y}{-3}=-\frac{5X}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
Y=-\frac{5X}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
Y=\frac{5X}{3}
Divide -5X by -3.
