\left(y+5\right)\times 120000=x\times 1000
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x\left(y+5\right), the least common multiple of x,y+5.
120000y+600000=x\times 1000
Use the distributive property to multiply y+5 by 120000.
x\times 1000=120000y+600000
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
1000x=120000y+600000
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{1000x}{1000}=\frac{120000y+600000}{1000}
Divide both sides by 1000.
x=\frac{120000y+600000}{1000}
Dividing by 1000 undoes the multiplication by 1000.
x=120y+600
Divide 600000+120000y by 1000.
x=120y+600\text{, }x\neq 0
Variable x cannot be equal to 0.
