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