2x+4z=5y
Add 5y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
2x=5y-4z
Subtract 4z from both sides.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{5y-4z}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{5y-4z}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=\frac{5y}{2}-2z
Divide 5y-4z by 2.
-5y+4z=-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-5y=-2x-4z
Subtract 4z from both sides.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{-2x-4z}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{-2x-4z}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=\frac{2x+4z}{5}
Divide -2x-4z by -5.
