y=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\left(5x+3\right)}{\frac{1}{2}\left(4x-5\right)}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored in \frac{\frac{5}{2}x+\frac{3}{2}}{2x-\frac{5}{2}}.
y=\frac{5x+3}{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{0}\left(4x-5\right)}
To divide powers of the same base, subtract the numerator's exponent from the denominator's exponent.
y=\frac{5x+3}{1\left(4x-5\right)}
Calculate \frac{1}{2} to the power of 0 and get 1.
y=\frac{5x+3}{4x-5}
Use the distributive property to multiply 1 by 4x-5.
\frac{5x+3}{4x-5}=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5x+3=y\left(4x-5\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to \frac{5}{4} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 4x-5.
5x+3=4yx-5y
Use the distributive property to multiply y by 4x-5.
5x+3-4yx=-5y
Subtract 4yx from both sides.
5x-4yx=-5y-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
\left(5-4y\right)x=-5y-3
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(5-4y\right)x}{5-4y}=\frac{-5y-3}{5-4y}
Divide both sides by 5-4y.
x=\frac{-5y-3}{5-4y}
Dividing by 5-4y undoes the multiplication by 5-4y.
x=-\frac{5y+3}{5-4y}
Divide -5y-3 by 5-4y.
x=-\frac{5y+3}{5-4y}\text{, }x\neq \frac{5}{4}
Variable x cannot be equal to \frac{5}{4}.
