-\frac{5}{4}x+1=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{5}{4}x=y-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\frac{-\frac{5}{4}x}{-\frac{5}{4}}=\frac{y-1}{-\frac{5}{4}}
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{5}{4}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y-1}{-\frac{5}{4}}
Dividing by -\frac{5}{4} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{5}{4}.
x=\frac{4-4y}{5}
Divide y-1 by -\frac{5}{4} by multiplying y-1 by the reciprocal of -\frac{5}{4}.
