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