y=xm-5m
Use the distributive property to multiply x-5 by m.
xm-5m=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(x-5\right)m=y
Combine all terms containing m.
\frac{\left(x-5\right)m}{x-5}=\frac{y}{x-5}
Divide both sides by x-5.
m=\frac{y}{x-5}
Dividing by x-5 undoes the multiplication by x-5.
y=xm-5m
Use the distributive property to multiply x-5 by m.
xm-5m=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
xm=y+5m
Add 5m to both sides.
mx=y+5m
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{mx}{m}=\frac{y+5m}{m}
Divide both sides by m.
x=\frac{y+5m}{m}
Dividing by m undoes the multiplication by m.
x=\frac{y}{m}+5
Divide y+5m by m.
y=xm-5m
Use the distributive property to multiply x-5 by m.
xm-5m=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\left(x-5\right)m=y
Combine all terms containing m.
\frac{\left(x-5\right)m}{x-5}=\frac{y}{x-5}
Divide both sides by x-5.
m=\frac{y}{x-5}
Dividing by x-5 undoes the multiplication by x-5.
