Since -2 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right hand side of the equation by adding 2 to both sides.
5y=2+2x+3
Simplify the right hand side of the equation
5y=2x+5
Divide each term in the equation by 5
5y/5=2x/5+5/5
Simplify the left hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
y = 2x/5+5/5
Combine the numerators of all expressions that have common denominators.
y= 2x+5/5
