y\times 5+x\times 5=y\times 1y
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by xy, the least common multiple of x,y.
y\times 5+x\times 5=y^{2}\times 1
Multiply y and y to get y^{2}.
x\times 5=y^{2}\times 1-y\times 5
Subtract y\times 5 from both sides.
5x=y^{2}-5y
Reorder the terms.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{y\left(y-5\right)}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{y\left(y-5\right)}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
x=\frac{y\left(y-5\right)}{5}\text{, }x\neq 0
Variable x cannot be equal to 0.
