-4x-5=6y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-4x=6y+5
Add 5 to both sides.
\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{6y+5}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=\frac{6y+5}{-4}
Dividing by -4 undoes the multiplication by -4.
x=-\frac{3y}{2}-\frac{5}{4}
Divide 6y+5 by -4.
6y=-4x-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{6y}{6}=\frac{-4x-5}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
y=\frac{-4x-5}{6}
Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.
y=-\frac{2x}{3}-\frac{5}{6}
Divide -4x-5 by 6.
