\frac{2}{5}x+2=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{2}{5}x=y-2
Subtract 2 from both sides.
\frac{\frac{2}{5}x}{\frac{2}{5}}=\frac{y-2}{\frac{2}{5}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{2}{5}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y-2}{\frac{2}{5}}
Dividing by \frac{2}{5} undoes the multiplication by \frac{2}{5}.
x=\frac{5y}{2}-5
Divide y-2 by \frac{2}{5} by multiplying y-2 by the reciprocal of \frac{2}{5}.
