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