4y-5x=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-5x=y-4y
Subtract 4y from both sides.
-5x=-3y
Combine y and -4y to get -3y.
\frac{-5x}{-5}=-\frac{3y}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=-\frac{3y}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
x=\frac{3y}{5}
Divide -3y by -5.
y-4y=-5x
Subtract 4y from both sides.
-3y=-5x
Combine y and -4y to get -3y.
\frac{-3y}{-3}=-\frac{5x}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
y=-\frac{5x}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
y=\frac{5x}{3}
Divide -5x by -3.
