\left(x+y\right)w=25y
Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
\frac{\left(x+y\right)w}{x+y}=\frac{25y}{x+y}
Divide both sides by x+y.
w=\frac{25y}{x+y}
Dividing by x+y undoes the multiplication by x+y.
\left(x+y\right)w=25y
Multiply both sides of the equation by y.
xw+yw=25y
Use the distributive property to multiply x+y by w.
xw=25y-yw
Subtract yw from both sides.
wx=25y-wy
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{wx}{w}=\frac{y\left(25-w\right)}{w}
Divide both sides by w.
x=\frac{y\left(25-w\right)}{w}
Dividing by w undoes the multiplication by w.
