5x+5=7y
Add 7y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
5x=7y-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{7y-5}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
x=\frac{7y-5}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
x=\frac{7y}{5}-1
Divide 7y-5 by 5.
-7y+5=-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-7y=-5x-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{-7y}{-7}=\frac{-5x-5}{-7}
Divide both sides by -7.
y=\frac{-5x-5}{-7}
Dividing by -7 undoes the multiplication by -7.
y=\frac{5x+5}{7}
