-2x+5=5y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-2x=5y-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{-2x}{-2}=\frac{5y-5}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
x=\frac{5y-5}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
x=\frac{5-5y}{2}
Divide -5+5y by -2.
5y=5-2x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5y}{5}=\frac{5-2x}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
y=\frac{5-2x}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
y=-\frac{2x}{5}+1
Divide -2x+5 by 5.
