y=25+5x^{-1}
Calculate 5 to the power of 2 and get 25.
25+5x^{-1}=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
25+5\times \frac{1}{x}=y
Reorder the terms.
x\times 25+5\times 1=yx
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
x\times 25+5=yx
Multiply 5 and 1 to get 5.
x\times 25+5-yx=0
Subtract yx from both sides.
x\times 25-yx=-5
Subtract 5 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
\left(25-y\right)x=-5
Combine all terms containing x.
\frac{\left(25-y\right)x}{25-y}=-\frac{5}{25-y}
Divide both sides by -y+25.
x=-\frac{5}{25-y}
Dividing by -y+25 undoes the multiplication by -y+25.
x=-\frac{5}{25-y}\text{, }x\neq 0
Variable x cannot be equal to 0.
