2x-15=5y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x=5y+15
Add 15 to both sides.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{5y+15}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{5y+15}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
5y=2x-15
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{2x-15}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
y=\frac{2x-15}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
y=\frac{2x}{5}-3
Divide 2x-15 by 5.
