5-7r-s=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-7r-s=-5
Subtract 5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-7r=-5+s
Add s to both sides.
-7r=s-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-7r}{-7}=\frac{s-5}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
r=\frac{s-5}{-7}
Dividing by -7 undoes the multiplication by -7.
r=\frac{5-s}{7}
Divide -5+s by -7.
5-7r-s=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-7r-s=-5
Subtract 5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-s=-5+7r
Add 7r to both sides.
-s=7r-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-s}{-1}=\frac{7r-5}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
s=\frac{7r-5}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
s=5-7r
Divide -5+7r by -1.
