: Hi, I'm working on Systems of Equations and I'm trying to solve this problem:
2x+3y=5
y=x
I have to turn the equation into "y=" form, but I keep getting a fraction
I was wondering if you could possibly help me. I would appreciate it. This question is from textbook Pre-Alg

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Start with given equation
Subtract 2x from both sides
Divide both sides by 3
Split up the fraction
Rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form.
So you should end up with a fraction of -2/3 for your slope and 5/3 for your y-intercept. Is that what you were trying to do? Hope this helps.
