y=\frac{3}{5}x-1
Divide each term of 3x-5 by 5 to get \frac{3}{5}x-1.
\frac{3}{5}x-1=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{3}{5}x=y+1
Add 1 to both sides.
\frac{\frac{3}{5}x}{\frac{3}{5}}=\frac{y+1}{\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+1}{\frac{3}{5}}
Dividing by \frac{3}{5} undoes the multiplication by \frac{3}{5}.
x=\frac{5y+5}{3}
Divide y+1 by \frac{3}{5} by multiplying y+1 by the reciprocal of \frac{3}{5}.
y=\frac{3}{5}x-1
Divide each term of 3x-5 by 5 to get \frac{3}{5}x-1.
