5x=17+2y
Add 2y to both sides.
5x=2y+17
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{2y+17}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{2y+17}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
-2y=17-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides.
\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{17-5x}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
y=\frac{17-5x}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
y=\frac{5x-17}{2}
Divide 17-5x by -2.
