y+5=z
Add z to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
y=z-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
-z+5=-y
Subtract y from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
-z=-y-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{-z}{-1}=\frac{-y-5}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
z=\frac{-y-5}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
z=y+5
Divide -y-5 by -1.
