5x-20=-4y
Subtract 4y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
5x=-4y+20
Add 20 to both sides.
5x=20-4y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{20-4y}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{20-4y}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
x=-\frac{4y}{5}+4
Divide -4y+20 by 5.
4y-20=-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
4y=-5x+20
Add 20 to both sides.
4y=20-5x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{4y}{4}=\frac{20-5x}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
y=\frac{20-5x}{4}
Dividing by 4 undoes the multiplication by 4.
y=-\frac{5x}{4}+5
Divide -5x+20 by 4.
