20x+168=8y
Add 8y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
20x=8y-168
Subtract 168 from both sides.
\frac{20x}{20}=\frac{8y-168}{20}
Divide both sides by 20.
x=\frac{8y-168}{20}
Dividing by 20 undoes the multiplication by 20.
x=\frac{2y-42}{5}
Divide -168+8y by 20.
-8y+168=-20x
Subtract 20x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-8y=-20x-168
Subtract 168 from both sides.
\frac{-8y}{-8}=\frac{-20x-168}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
y=\frac{-20x-168}{-8}
Dividing by -8 undoes the multiplication by -8.
y=\frac{5x}{2}+21
Divide -20x-168 by -8.
