\frac{7}{8}x+52=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{7}{8}x=y-52
Subtract 52 from both sides.
\frac{\frac{7}{8}x}{\frac{7}{8}}=\frac{y-52}{\frac{7}{8}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{7}{8}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y-52}{\frac{7}{8}}
Dividing by \frac{7}{8} undoes the multiplication by \frac{7}{8}.
x=\frac{8y-416}{7}
Divide y-52 by \frac{7}{8} by multiplying y-52 by the reciprocal of \frac{7}{8}.
