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