\frac{5}{3}x+1=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{5}{3}x=y-1
Subtract 1 from both sides.
\frac{\frac{5}{3}x}{\frac{5}{3}}=\frac{y-1}{\frac{5}{3}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{5}{3}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y-1}{\frac{5}{3}}
Dividing by \frac{5}{3} undoes the multiplication by \frac{5}{3}.
x=\frac{3y-3}{5}
Divide y-1 by \frac{5}{3} by multiplying y-1 by the reciprocal of \frac{5}{3}.
