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