7x=8y
Add 8y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\frac{7x}{7}=\frac{8y}{7}
Divide both sides by 7.
x=\frac{8y}{7}
Dividing by 7 undoes the multiplication by 7.
-8y=-7x
Subtract 7x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\frac{-8y}{-8}=-\frac{7x}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
y=-\frac{7x}{-8}
Dividing by -8 undoes the multiplication by -8.
y=\frac{7x}{8}
Divide -7x by -8.
