\frac{5}{3}x=y-7
Subtract 7 from both sides.
\frac{\frac{5}{3}x}{\frac{5}{3}}=\frac{y-7}{\frac{5}{3}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{5}{3}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y-7}{\frac{5}{3}}
Dividing by \frac{5}{3} undoes the multiplication by \frac{5}{3}.
x=\frac{3y-21}{5}
Divide y-7 by \frac{5}{3} by multiplying y-7 by the reciprocal of \frac{5}{3}.
y=\frac{5}{3}x+7
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
