okay I wrote it wrong
x= 5/ (y-3) maybe that will help more

its simple watch:
add 3
x+3=5/y
divide by 5
x+3/5= 1 /y
flip both sides (raise them to the -1 power)
5/(x+3) = y

First, multiply both sides by (y-3)
then
x * (y-3) = 5
then divide both sides by x
then
y-3 = 5/x
finally, add three to both sides
y = (5/x) + 3

x = 5/y-3
1/x = y-3/5
y-3/5 = 1/x
y-3 = 5/x
y = (5/x) + 3
y = (5 + 3x)/x

x(y-3)=5
xy -3x=5
xy=5+3x
y=(5+3x)/x
y= 5/x +3
