5x+2y-10x=0
Subtract 10x from both sides.
-5x+2y=0
Combine 5x and -10x to get -5x.
-5x=-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\frac{-5x}{-5}=-\frac{2y}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=-\frac{2y}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
x=\frac{2y}{5}
Divide -2y by -5.
2y=10x-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides.
2y=5x
Combine 10x and -5x to get 5x.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{5x}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{5x}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
