5x+2=4y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5x=4y-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{4y-2}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{4y-2}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
4y=5x+2
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{5x+2}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
y=\frac{5x+2}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
y=\frac{5x}{4}+\frac{1}{2}
Divide 5x+2 by 4.
