6x+20=5y
Add 5y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
6x=5y-20
Subtract 20 from both sides.
\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{5y-20}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
x=\frac{5y-20}{6}
Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.
x=\frac{5y}{6}-\frac{10}{3}
Divide -20+5y by 6.
-5y+20=-6x
Subtract 6x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-5y=-6x-20
Subtract 20 from both sides.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{-6x-20}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{-6x-20}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=\frac{6x}{5}+4
Divide -6x-20 by -5.
