-\frac{1}{6}x+5=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{1}{6}x=y-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{-\frac{1}{6}x}{-\frac{1}{6}}=\frac{y-5}{-\frac{1}{6}}
Multiply both sides by -6.
x=\frac{y-5}{-\frac{1}{6}}
Dividing by -\frac{1}{6} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{1}{6}.
x=30-6y
Divide y-5 by -\frac{1}{6} by multiplying y-5 by the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{6}.
