5x+3y=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5x=y-3y
Subtract 3y from both sides.
5x=-2y
Combine y and -3y to get -2y.
\frac{5x}{5}=-\frac{2y}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=-\frac{2y}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
y-3y=5x
Subtract 3y from both sides.
-2y=5x
Combine y and -3y to get -2y.
\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{5x}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
y=\frac{5x}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
y=-\frac{5x}{2}
Divide 5x by -2.
