-\frac{3}{2}x-5=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{3}{2}x=y+5
Add 5 to both sides.
\frac{-\frac{3}{2}x}{-\frac{3}{2}}=\frac{y+5}{-\frac{3}{2}}
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{3}{2}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y+5}{-\frac{3}{2}}
Dividing by -\frac{3}{2} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{3}{2}.
x=\frac{-2y-10}{3}
Divide y+5 by -\frac{3}{2} by multiplying y+5 by the reciprocal of -\frac{3}{2}.
