5x=20y
Add 20y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{20y}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{20y}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
x=4y
Divide 20y by 5.
-20y=-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\frac{-20y}{-20}=-\frac{5x}{-20}
Divide both sides by -20.
y=-\frac{5x}{-20}
Dividing by -20 undoes the multiplication by -20.
y=\frac{x}{4}
Divide -5x by -20.
