5y\times 7-x=10xy
Variable y cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 10xy, the least common multiple of 2x,10y.
35y-x=10xy
Multiply 5 and 7 to get 35.
35y-x-10xy=0
Subtract 10xy from both sides.
35y-10xy=x
Add x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\left(35-10x\right)y=x
Combine all terms containing y.
\frac{\left(35-10x\right)y}{35-10x}=\frac{x}{35-10x}
Divide both sides by 35-10x.
y=\frac{x}{35-10x}
Dividing by 35-10x undoes the multiplication by 35-10x.
y=\frac{x}{5\left(7-2x\right)}
Divide x by 35-10x.
y=\frac{x}{5\left(7-2x\right)}\text{, }y\neq 0
Variable y cannot be equal to 0.
