5x-17=3y
Add 3y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
5x=3y+17
Add 17 to both sides.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{3y+17}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{3y+17}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
-3y-17=-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-3y=-5x+17
Add 17 to both sides.
-3y=17-5x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{17-5x}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
y=\frac{17-5x}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
y=\frac{5x-17}{3}
Divide -5x+17 by -3.
