x-2y-7x=-5
Subtract 7x from both sides.
-6x-2y=-5
Combine x and -7x to get -6x.
-6x=-5+2y
Add 2y to both sides.
-6x=2y-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-6x}{-6}=\frac{2y-5}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
x=\frac{2y-5}{-6}
Dividing by -6 undoes the multiplication by -6.
x=-\frac{y}{3}+\frac{5}{6}
Divide -5+2y by -6.
-2y=7x-5-x
Subtract x from both sides.
-2y=6x-5
Combine 7x and -x to get 6x.
\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{6x-5}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
y=\frac{6x-5}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
y=\frac{5}{2}-3x
Divide 6x-5 by -2.
