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