4x+5=y
Add y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
4x=y-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{y-5}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=\frac{y-5}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
-y+5=-4x
Subtract 4x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-y=-4x-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{-4x-5}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{-4x-5}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=4x+5
Divide -4x-5 by -1.
