-5p-1=-17y
Subtract 17y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-5p=-17y+1
Add 1 to both sides.
-5p=1-17y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-5p}{-5}=\frac{1-17y}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
p=\frac{1-17y}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
p=\frac{17y-1}{5}
Divide -17y+1 by -5.
17y-1=5p
Add 5p to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
17y=5p+1
Add 1 to both sides.
\frac{17y}{17}=\frac{5p+1}{17}
Divide both sides by 17.
y=\frac{5p+1}{17}
Dividing by 17 undoes the multiplication by 17.
