2x+5=y
Add y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
2x=y-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{y-5}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{y-5}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
-y+5=-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-y=-2x-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{-2x-5}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{-2x-5}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=2x+5
Divide -2x-5 by -1.
