-2x+8=3y
(-2x+8)/3=y
plug in values of x or y into equation to find x or y

To obtain specific values for x or y, you would need 2 equations for the two variables. You can still solve the equation for a specific variable, in terms of the other. For example, to solve for x:
2x + 3y = 8
2x = 8 - 3y
x = (8 - 3y) / 2
