-5x+b=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
b=y+5x
Add 5x to both sides.
-5x+b=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-5x=y-b
Subtract b from both sides.
\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{y-b}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=\frac{y-b}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
x=\frac{b-y}{5}
Divide y-b by -5.
