-\frac{2}{5}y+3=x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{2}{5}y=x-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
\frac{-\frac{2}{5}y}{-\frac{2}{5}}=\frac{x-3}{-\frac{2}{5}}
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{2}{5}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
y=\frac{x-3}{-\frac{2}{5}}
Dividing by -\frac{2}{5} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{2}{5}.
y=\frac{15-5x}{2}
Divide x-3 by -\frac{2}{5} by multiplying x-3 by the reciprocal of -\frac{2}{5}.
