document.write( "So you want to get the y by itself because slope intercept form is always in the form y=mx+b, with m as the slope and b as the y-intercept. So, to solve 3x-5y= 25 first you subtract 3x from both sides to get the y term by itself. You should have the equation -3x+25=-5y. Then you divide both sides of the equation by -5 to get y= 3/5x(three fifths x)-5. Let me know if you have any more questions. :)  </SPAN>\n" );
