5x+2y=7
Add 7 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
5x=7-2y
Subtract 2y from both sides.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{7-2y}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{7-2y}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
-7+2y=-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
2y=-5x+7
Add 7 to both sides.
2y=7-5x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{7-5x}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
y=\frac{7-5x}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
