Solve for x x/3-5=y

$\frac{x}{3} - 5 = y$

Step 1

Add $5$ to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{x}{3} = y + 5$

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by $3$ .

$3 \frac{x}{3} = 3 (y + 5)$

Step 3

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$3 \frac{x}{3} = 3 (y + 5)$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = 3 (y + 5)$

$x = 3 (y + 5)$

$x = 3 (y + 5)$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify $3 (y + 5)$ .

Apply the distributive property.

$x = 3 y + 3 \cdot 5$

Multiply $3$ by $5$ .

$x = 3 y + 15$

$x = 3 y + 15$

$x = 3 y + 15$

$x = 3 y + 15$
