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