\frac{3}{4}x-5=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{3}{4}x=y+5
Add 5 to both sides.
\frac{\frac{3}{4}x}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{y+5}{\frac{3}{4}}
Divide both sides of the equation by \frac{3}{4}, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.
x=\frac{y+5}{\frac{3}{4}}
Dividing by \frac{3}{4} undoes the multiplication by \frac{3}{4}.
x=\frac{4y+20}{3}
Divide y+5 by \frac{3}{4} by multiplying y+5 by the reciprocal of \frac{3}{4}.
