5x-5=y
Add y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
5x=y+5
Add 5 to both sides.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{y+5}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{y+5}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
x=\frac{y}{5}+1
Divide y+5 by 5.
-y-5=-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-y=-5x+5
Add 5 to both sides.
-y=5-5x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{5-5x}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{5-5x}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=5x-5
Divide -5x+5 by -1.
