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