x=\frac{2y-16}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
x=\frac{16-2y}{5}
Divide -16+2y by -5.
-2y=-16+5x
Add 5x to both sides.
-2y=5x-16
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{5x-16}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
y=\frac{5x-16}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
y=-\frac{5x}{2}+8
Divide -16+5x by -2.
