y+5=-2x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+3.
-2x-6=y+5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-2x=y+5+6
Add 6 to both sides.
-2x=y+11
Add 5 and 6 to get 11.
\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{y+11}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{y+11}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
x=\frac{-y-11}{2}
Divide y+11 by -2.
y+5=-2x-6
Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by x+3.
y=-2x-6-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
y=-2x-11
