y=\frac{5}{9}-\frac{1}{9}x
Divide each term of 5-x by 9 to get \frac{5}{9}-\frac{1}{9}x.
\frac{5}{9}-\frac{1}{9}x=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{1}{9}x=y-\frac{5}{9}
Subtract \frac{5}{9} from both sides.
\frac{-\frac{1}{9}x}{-\frac{1}{9}}=\frac{y-\frac{5}{9}}{-\frac{1}{9}}
Multiply both sides by -9.
x=\frac{y-\frac{5}{9}}{-\frac{1}{9}}
Dividing by -\frac{1}{9} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{1}{9}.
x=5-9y
Divide y-\frac{5}{9} by -\frac{1}{9} by multiplying y-\frac{5}{9} by the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{9}.
y=\frac{5}{9}-\frac{1}{9}x
Divide each term of 5-x by 9 to get \frac{5}{9}-\frac{1}{9}x.
