\frac{9}{2}x-7=y
Add y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
\frac{9}{2}x=y+7
Add 7 to both sides.
\frac{\frac{9}{2}x}{\frac{9}{2}}=\frac{y+7}{\frac{9}{2}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{9}{2}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y+7}{\frac{9}{2}}
Dividing by \frac{9}{2} undoes the multiplication by \frac{9}{2}.
x=\frac{2y+14}{9}
Divide y+7 by \frac{9}{2} by multiplying y+7 by the reciprocal of \frac{9}{2}.
-y-7=-\frac{9}{2}x
Subtract \frac{9}{2}x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-y=-\frac{9}{2}x+7
Add 7 to both sides.
-y=-\frac{9x}{2}+7
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{-\frac{9x}{2}+7}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
y=\frac{-\frac{9x}{2}+7}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
y=\frac{9x}{2}-7
Divide -\frac{9x}{2}+7 by -1.
