y=\frac{-3x-2}{5}
Multiply both numerator and denominator by -1.
y=-\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{2}{5}
Divide each term of -3x-2 by 5 to get -\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{2}{5}.
-\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{2}{5}=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{3}{5}x=y+\frac{2}{5}
Add \frac{2}{5} to both sides.
\frac{-\frac{3}{5}x}{-\frac{3}{5}}=\frac{y+\frac{2}{5}}{-\frac{3}{5}}
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{3}{5}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y+\frac{2}{5}}{-\frac{3}{5}}
Dividing by -\frac{3}{5} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{3}{5}.
x=\frac{-5y-2}{3}
Divide y+\frac{2}{5} by -\frac{3}{5} by multiplying y+\frac{2}{5} by the reciprocal of -\frac{3}{5}.
y=\frac{-3x-2}{5}
Multiply both numerator and denominator by -1.
y=-\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{2}{5}
Divide each term of -3x-2 by 5 to get -\frac{3}{5}x-\frac{2}{5}.
