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