2x+5=7y
Add 7y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
2x=7y-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{7y-5}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{7y-5}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
-7y+5=-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-7y=-2x-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{-7y}{-7}=\frac{-2x-5}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
y=\frac{-2x-5}{-7}
Dividing by -7 undoes the multiplication by -7.
y=\frac{2x+5}{7}
Divide -2x-5 by -7.
