2x does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right side of the equation by subtracting 2x from both sides.−3y=−2x+8-3y=-2x+8
Divide each term by -3 and simplify.
You have to leave Y by itself in one side. To do that, you need to subtract 2x from both sides. You're now left with -3y = 8-2x. Last step is that you divide 3y, 8, and -2 by -3.
