x+3z-5=-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x-5=-2y-3z
Subtract 3z from both sides.
x=-2y-3z+5
Add 5 to both sides.
2y+3z-5=-x
Subtract x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
2y-5=-x-3z
Subtract 3z from both sides.
2y=-x-3z+5
Add 5 to both sides.
2y=5-3z-x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{5-3z-x}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{5-3z-x}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
