\frac{3}{8}x-7=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{3}{8}x=y+7
Add 7 to both sides.
\frac{\frac{3}{8}x}{\frac{3}{8}}=\frac{y+7}{\frac{3}{8}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{3}{8}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y+7}{\frac{3}{8}}
Dividing by \frac{3}{8} undoes the multiplication by \frac{3}{8}.
x=\frac{8y+56}{3}
Divide y+7 by \frac{3}{8} by multiplying y+7 by the reciprocal of \frac{3}{8}.
