How do I solve for y in terms of x

It's been a while since I did this and I can't remember how to solve for y in terms of x.

Ex) 2x - 3y = 12
Ex) 5x + 2y = 7

I know simple stuff, but I'm just completely blanking

-
move the x terms over to the other side, and then divide by the coefficient of the y terms:

Ex)
2x - 3y = 12
- 3y = -2x +12
y=(2/3)x - 4

Ex)
5x + 2y = 7
2y = -5x + 7
y = (-5/2)x + (7/2)
