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