5x-11=6y
Add 6y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
5x=6y+11
Add 11 to both sides.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{6y+11}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{6y+11}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
-6y-11=-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-6y=-5x+11
Add 11 to both sides.
-6y=11-5x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-6y}{-6}=\frac{11-5x}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
y=\frac{11-5x}{-6}
Dividing by -6 undoes the multiplication by -6.
y=\frac{5x-11}{6}
Divide -5x+11 by -6.
