5+2z-3y=x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2z-3y=x-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
-3y=x-5-2z
Subtract 2z from both sides.
-3y=x-2z-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{x-2z-5}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
y=\frac{x-2z-5}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
y=\frac{5+2z-x}{3}
Divide x-5-2z by -3.
