8x=-5+9y
Add 9y to both sides.
8x=9y-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{9y-5}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=\frac{9y-5}{8}
Dividing by 8 undoes the multiplication by 8.
-9y=-5-8x
Subtract 8x from both sides.
-9y=-8x-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-9y}{-9}=\frac{-8x-5}{-9}
Divide both sides by -9.
y=\frac{-8x-5}{-9}
Dividing by -9 undoes the multiplication by -9.
y=\frac{8x+5}{9}
Divide -5-8x by -9.
