-5x-4=-y
Subtract y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-5x=-y+4
Add 4 to both sides.
-5x=4-y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{4-y}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
x=\frac{4-y}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
x=\frac{y-4}{5}
Divide -y+4 by -5.
y-4=5x
Add 5x to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
y=5x+4
Add 4 to both sides.
