-\frac{5}{3}x-3=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{5}{3}x=y+3
Add 3 to both sides.
\frac{-\frac{5}{3}x}{-\frac{5}{3}}=\frac{y+3}{-\frac{5}{3}}
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{5}{3}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y+3}{-\frac{5}{3}}
Dividing by -\frac{5}{3} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{5}{3}.
x=\frac{-3y-9}{5}
Divide y+3 by -\frac{5}{3} by multiplying y+3 by the reciprocal of -\frac{5}{3}.
