2x_{1}-5x_{2}=z
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x_{1}=z+5x_{2}
Add 5x_{2} to both sides.
2x_{1}=5x_{2}+z
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2x_{1}}{2}=\frac{5x_{2}+z}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x_{1}=\frac{5x_{2}+z}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
