4x-10=-5y
Subtract 5y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
4x=-5y+10
Add 10 to both sides.
4x=10-5y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{10-5y}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
x=\frac{10-5y}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
x=-\frac{5y}{4}+\frac{5}{2}
Divide -5y+10 by 4.
5y-10=-4x
Subtract 4x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
5y=-4x+10
Add 10 to both sides.
5y=10-4x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{10-4x}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
y=\frac{10-4x}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
y=-\frac{4x}{5}+2
Divide -4x+10 by 5.
