-5-y-x=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-y-x=5
Add 5 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
-x=5+y
Add y to both sides.
-x=y+5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-x}{-1}=\frac{y+5}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
x=\frac{y+5}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
x=-\left(y+5\right)
Divide 5+y by -1.
