-\frac{7}{2}x+5=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{7}{2}x=y-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{-\frac{7}{2}x}{-\frac{7}{2}}=\frac{y-5}{-\frac{7}{2}}
Divide both sides of the equation by -\frac{7}{2}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y-5}{-\frac{7}{2}}
Dividing by -\frac{7}{2} undoes the multiplication by -\frac{7}{2}.
x=\frac{10-2y}{7}
Divide y-5 by -\frac{7}{2} by multiplying y-5 by the reciprocal of -\frac{7}{2}.
