$$y=\frac{59x-5}{109}$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 59x from both sides.

$$-109y=5-59x$$

Divide both sides by -109.

$$\frac{-109y}{-109}=\frac{5-59x}{-109}$$

Dividing by -109 undoes the multiplication by -109.

$$y=\frac{5-59x}{-109}$$

Divide 5-59x by -109.

$$y=\frac{59x-5}{109}$$
