xz-xy=5
Subtract xy from both sides.
\left(z-y\right)x=5
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(z-y\right)x}{z-y}=\frac{5}{z-y}
Divide both sides by -y+z.
x=\frac{5}{z-y}
Dividing by -y+z undoes the multiplication by -y+z.
5+xy=xz
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
xy=xz-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{xy}{x}=\frac{xz-5}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
y=\frac{xz-5}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
y=z-\frac{5}{x}
Divide xz-5 by x.
