\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
Subtract 5 from 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}.
