6y+5=x\left(9y-7\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 9y-7.
6y+5=9xy-7x
Use the distributive property to multiply x by 9y-7.
9xy-7x=6y+5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(9y-7\right)x=6y+5
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(9y-7\right)x}{9y-7}=\frac{6y+5}{9y-7}
Divide both sides by 9y-7.
x=\frac{6y+5}{9y-7}
Dividing by 9y-7 undoes the multiplication by 9y-7.
6y+5=x\left(9y-7\right)
Variable y cannot be equal to \frac{7}{9} since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9y-7.
6y+5=9xy-7x
Use the distributive property to multiply x by 9y-7.
6y+5-9xy=-7x
Subtract 9xy from both sides.
6y-9xy=-7x-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\left(6-9x\right)y=-7x-5
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(6-9x\right)y}{6-9x}=\frac{-7x-5}{6-9x}
Divide both sides by 6-9x.
y=\frac{-7x-5}{6-9x}
Dividing by 6-9x undoes the multiplication by 6-9x.
y=-\frac{7x+5}{3\left(2-3x\right)}
Divide -7x-5 by 6-9x.
y=-\frac{7x+5}{3\left(2-3x\right)}\text{, }y\neq \frac{7}{9}
Variable y cannot be equal to \frac{7}{9}.
