y\times 5x=-2y+2y\left(-\frac{5}{2}\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2y, the least common multiple of 2,y.
y\times 5x=-2y-5y
Multiply 2 and -\frac{5}{2} to get -5.
y\times 5x=-7y
Combine -2y and -5y to get -7y.
5yx=-7y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5yx}{5y}=-\frac{7y}{5y}
Divide both sides by 5y.
x=-\frac{7y}{5y}
Dividing by 5y undoes the multiplication by 5y.
x=-\frac{7}{5}
Divide -7y by 5y.
y\times 5x=-2y+2y\left(-\frac{5}{2}\right)
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 2y, the least common multiple of 2,y.
y\times 5x=-2y-5y
Multiply 2 and -\frac{5}{2} to get -5.
y\times 5x=-7y
Combine -2y and -5y to get -7y.
y\times 5x+7y=0
Add 7y to both sides.
\left(5x+7\right)y=0
Combine all terms containing y.
y=0
Divide 0 by 5x+7.
y\in \emptyset
Variable y cannot be equal to 0.
