The problem is: -x + 3y = -2

Are you trying to solve for x? Or for y?

If you're solving for x, subtract 3y from both sides of your equation, and then divide both sides by negative one. The steps will look like this:

-x = -2 - 3y -------------------> x = 2 + 3y

If you're solving for y, add x to both sides of the equation, and divide both sides by 3. Here are your results:

3y = -2 + x -------------------> y = (x - 2) / 3
