-x=20+5y
Add 5y to both sides.
-x=5y+20
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{5y+20}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{5y+20}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=-5y-20
Divide 20+5y by -1.
-5y-x=20

-5y=20+x
Add x to both sides.
-5y=x+20
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{x+20}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{x+20}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=-\frac{x}{5}-4
Divide 20+x by -5.
