2y-5x-x=-4
Subtract x from both sides.
2y-6x=-4
Combine -5x and -x to get -6x.
-6x=-4-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides.
-6x=-2y-4
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-6x}{-6}=\frac{-2y-4}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
x=\frac{-2y-4}{-6}
Dividing by -6 undoes the multiplication by -6.
x=\frac{y+2}{3}
Divide -4-2y by -6.
2y=x-4+5x
Add 5x to both sides.
2y=6x-4
Combine x and 5x to get 6x.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{6x-4}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{6x-4}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
y=3x-2
Divide 6x-4 by 2.
