Answer:

y=5/2x-23/2 or y=2.5x-11.5

Explanation:

First, add 2y to move it to the other side of the equation. This should give you 2y+23=5x. Now, subtract 23, giving you 2y=5x-23. Divide the whole equation by 2 so that y will be by itself. Written in fraction form, it would be: y=5/2x-23/2. Written in decimal form: y=2.5x-11.5.
