x-7=5y
Add 5y to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
x=5y+7
Add 7 to both sides.
-5y-7=-x
Subtract x from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-5y=-x+7
Add 7 to both sides.
-5y=7-x
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{7-x}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{7-x}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=\frac{x-7}{5}
Divide -x+7 by -5.
