\frac{5}{2}y=-15-x
Subtract x from both sides.
\frac{5}{2}y=-x-15
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\frac{5}{2}y}{\frac{5}{2}}=\frac{-x-15}{\frac{5}{2}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{5}{2}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
y=\frac{-x-15}{\frac{5}{2}}
Dividing by \frac{5}{2} undoes the multiplication by \frac{5}{2}.
y=-\frac{2x}{5}-6
Divide -15-x by \frac{5}{2} by multiplying -15-x by the reciprocal of \frac{5}{2}.
x=-15-\frac{5}{2}y
Subtract \frac{5}{2}y from both sides.
