5x+10=8y
Add 8y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
5x=8y-10
Subtract 10 from both sides.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{8y-10}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{8y-10}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
x=\frac{8y}{5}-2
Divide 8y-10 by 5.
-8y+10=-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-8y=-5x-10
Subtract 10 from both sides.
\frac{-8y}{-8}=\frac{-5x-10}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
y=\frac{-5x-10}{-8}
Dividing by -8 undoes the multiplication by -8.
y=\frac{5x}{8}+\frac{5}{4}
Divide -5x-10 by -8.
