y=-x-\frac{5}{3}x
Divide 3 by 3 to get 1.
y=-\frac{8}{3}x
Combine -x and -\frac{5}{3}x to get -\frac{8}{3}x.
-\frac{8}{3}x=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{-\frac{8}{3}x}{-\frac{8}{3}}=\frac{y}{-\frac{8}{3}}
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{8}{3}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y}{-\frac{8}{3}}
Dividing by -\frac{8}{3} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{8}{3}.
x=-\frac{3y}{8}
Divide y by -\frac{8}{3} by multiplying y by the reciprocal of -\frac{8}{3}.
y=-x-\frac{5}{3}x
Divide 3 by 3 to get 1.
y=-\frac{8}{3}x
Combine -x and -\frac{5}{3}x to get -\frac{8}{3}x.
