3x+4=5y
Add 5y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
3x=5y-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{5y-4}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=\frac{5y-4}{3}
Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.
-5y+4=-3x
Subtract 3x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-5y=-3x-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{-3x-4}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{-3x-4}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=\frac{3x+4}{5}
Divide -3x-4 by -5.
