-3x+3=y-5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-3x=y-5-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
-3x=y-8
Subtract 3 from -5 to get -8.
\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{y-8}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=\frac{y-8}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
x=\frac{8-y}{3}
Divide y-8 by -3.
y=-3x+3+5
Add 5 to both sides.
y=-3x+8
Add 3 and 5 to get 8.
