-6x-y+5x=4x-\left(7x-1\right)
To find the opposite of y-5x, find the opposite of each term.
-x-y=4x-\left(7x-1\right)
Combine -6x and 5x to get -x.
-x-y=4x-7x+1
To find the opposite of 7x-1, find the opposite of each term.
-x-y=-3x+1
Combine 4x and -7x to get -3x.
-x-y+3x=1
Add 3x to both sides.
2x-y=1
Combine -x and 3x to get 2x.
2x=1+y
Add y to both sides.
2x=y+1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{y+1}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{y+1}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
-6x-y+5x=4x-\left(7x-1\right)
To find the opposite of y-5x, find the opposite of each term.
-x-y=4x-\left(7x-1\right)
Combine -6x and 5x to get -x.
-x-y=4x-7x+1
To find the opposite of 7x-1, find the opposite of each term.
-x-y=-3x+1
Combine 4x and -7x to get -3x.
-y=-3x+1+x
Add x to both sides.
-y=-2x+1
Combine -3x and x to get -2x.
-y=1-2x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{1-2x}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{1-2x}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=2x-1
Divide -2x+1 by -1.
