y-5=\frac{5}{4}x-5
Use the distributive property to multiply \frac{5}{4} by x-4.
\frac{5}{4}x-5=y-5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{5}{4}x=y-5+5
Add 5 to both sides.
\frac{5}{4}x=y
Add -5 and 5 to get 0.
\frac{\frac{5}{4}x}{\frac{5}{4}}=\frac{y}{\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}{\frac{5}{4}}
Dividing by \frac{5}{4} undoes the multiplication by \frac{5}{4}.
x=\frac{4y}{5}
Divide y by \frac{5}{4} by multiplying y by the reciprocal of \frac{5}{4}.
y-5=\frac{5}{4}x-5
Use the distributive property to multiply \frac{5}{4} by x-4.
y=\frac{5}{4}x-5+5
Add 5 to both sides.
y=\frac{5}{4}x
Add -5 and 5 to get 0.
