\frac{4}{9}x+5=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{4}{9}x=y-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{\frac{4}{9}x}{\frac{4}{9}}=\frac{y-5}{\frac{4}{9}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{4}{9}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y-5}{\frac{4}{9}}
Dividing by \frac{4}{9} undoes the multiplication by \frac{4}{9}.
x=\frac{9y-45}{4}
Divide y-5 by \frac{4}{9} by multiplying y-5 by the reciprocal of \frac{4}{9}.
