7x-2y-5x=y
Subtract 5x from both sides.
2x-2y=y
Combine 7x and -5x to get 2x.
2x=y+2y
Add 2y to both sides.
2x=3y
Combine y and 2y to get 3y.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{3y}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{3y}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
7x-2y-y=5x

7x-3y=5x
Combine -2y and -y to get -3y.
-3y=5x-7x
Subtract 7x from both sides.
-3y=-2x
Combine 5x and -7x to get -2x.
\frac{-3y}{-3}=-\frac{2x}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
y=-\frac{2x}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
y=\frac{2x}{3}
Divide -2x by -3.
