5x_{1}-3=2y
Add 2y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
5x_{1}=2y+3
Add 3 to both sides.
\frac{5x_{1}}{5}=\frac{2y+3}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x_{1}=\frac{2y+3}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
-2y-3=-5x_{1}
Subtract 5x_{1} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-2y=-5x_{1}+3
Add 3 to both sides.
-2y=3-5x_{1}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{3-5x_{1}}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
y=\frac{3-5x_{1}}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
y=\frac{5x_{1}-3}{2}
Divide -5x_{1}+3 by -2.
