8x=-2+5y
Add 5y to both sides.
8x=5y-2
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{5y-2}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=\frac{5y-2}{8}
Dividing by 8 undoes the multiplication by 8.
x=\frac{5y}{8}-\frac{1}{4}
Divide -2+5y by 8.
-5y=-2-8x
Subtract 8x from both sides.
-5y=-8x-2
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{-8x-2}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{-8x-2}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=\frac{8x+2}{5}
Divide -2-8x by -5.
