Since 2x does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 2x from both sides.
-3y=-2x

Divide each term in the equation by -3.
-(3y)/(-3)=-(2x)/(-3)

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
Y=-(2x)/(-3)

Simplify the right-hand side of the equation by simplifying each term.
Y=(2x)/(3)
