4x-zx=5y
Subtract zx from both sides.
\left(4-z\right)x=5y
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(4-z\right)x}{4-z}=\frac{5y}{4-z}
Divide both sides by -z+4.
x=\frac{5y}{4-z}
Dividing by -z+4 undoes the multiplication by -z+4.
5y+zx=4x
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5y=4x-zx
Subtract zx from both sides.
5y=4x-xz
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{x\left(4-z\right)}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
y=\frac{x\left(4-z\right)}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
y=\frac{4x-xz}{5}
Divide x\left(4-z\right) by 5.
