-5x+12=1+8y
Add 8y to both sides.
-5x=1+8y-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
-5x=-11+8y
Subtract 12 from 1 to get -11.
-5x=8y-11
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{8y-11}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=\frac{8y-11}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
x=\frac{11-8y}{5}
Divide -11+8y by -5.
-8y+12=1+5x
Add 5x to both sides.
-8y=1+5x-12
Subtract 12 from both sides.
-8y=-11+5x
Subtract 12 from 1 to get -11.
-8y=5x-11
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-8y}{-8}=\frac{5x-11}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
y=\frac{5x-11}{-8}
Dividing by -8 undoes the multiplication by -8.
y=\frac{11-5x}{8}
Divide -11+5x by -8.
