5x-3y%2B5=2y-5 Start with the given equation.


-3y%2B5=2y-5-5x Subtract 5x from both sides.


-3y=2y-5-5x-5 Subtract 5 from both sides.


-3y-2y=-5-5x-5 Subtract 2y from both sides.


-5y=-5-5x-5 Combine like terms on the left side.


-5y=-5x-10 Combine like terms on the right side.


y=%28-5x-10%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate y.


y=%28-5x%29%2F%28-5%29-%2810%29%2F%28-5%29 Break up the fraction.


y=x%2B2 Reduce.
