40x=10y
Add 10y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\frac{40x}{40}=\frac{10y}{40}
Divide both sides by 40.
x=\frac{10y}{40}
Dividing by 40 undoes the multiplication by 40.
x=\frac{y}{4}
Divide 10y by 40.
-10y=-40x
Subtract 40x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\frac{-10y}{-10}=-\frac{40x}{-10}
Divide both sides by -10.
y=-\frac{40x}{-10}
Dividing by -10 undoes the multiplication by -10.
y=4x
Divide -40x by -10.
