-\frac{2}{3}x+7y-2y=4
Combine 5x and -\frac{17}{3}x to get -\frac{2}{3}x.
-\frac{2}{3}x+5y=4
Combine 7y and -2y to get 5y.
-\frac{2}{3}x=4-5y
Subtract 5y from both sides.
\frac{-\frac{2}{3}x}{-\frac{2}{3}}=\frac{4-5y}{-\frac{2}{3}}
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{2}{3}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{4-5y}{-\frac{2}{3}}
Dividing by -\frac{2}{3} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{2}{3}.
x=\frac{15y}{2}-6
Divide 4-5y by -\frac{2}{3} by multiplying 4-5y by the reciprocal of -\frac{2}{3}.
-\frac{2}{3}x+7y-2y=4
Combine 5x and -\frac{17}{3}x to get -\frac{2}{3}x.
-\frac{2}{3}x+5y=4
Combine 7y and -2y to get 5y.
5y=4+\frac{2}{3}x
Add \frac{2}{3}x to both sides.
5y=\frac{2x}{3}+4
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{\frac{2x}{3}+4}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
y=\frac{\frac{2x}{3}+4}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
y=\frac{2x}{15}+\frac{4}{5}
Divide 4+\frac{2x}{3} by 5.
