-x-56=-7y
Subtract 7y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-x=-7y+56
Add 56 to both sides.
-x=56-7y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{56-7y}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{56-7y}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=7y-56
Divide -7y+56 by -1.
7y-56=x
Add x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
7y=x+56
Add 56 to both sides.
\frac{7y}{7}=\frac{x+56}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
y=\frac{x+56}{7}
Dividing by 7 undoes the multiplication by 7.
y=\frac{x}{7}+8
Divide x+56 by 7.
