-5p-1=-q
Subtract q from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-5p=-q+1
Add 1 to both sides.
-5p=1-q
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-5p}{-5}=\frac{1-q}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
p=\frac{1-q}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
p=\frac{q-1}{5}
Divide -q+1 by -5.
q-1=5p
Add 5p to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
q=5p+1
Add 1 to both sides.
