2x-5y=z
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x=z+5y
Add 5y to both sides.
2x=5y+z
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{5y+z}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{5y+z}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
2x-5y=z
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-5y=z-2x
Subtract 2x from both sides.
\frac{-5y}{-5}=\frac{z-2x}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
y=\frac{z-2x}{-5}
Dividing by -5 undoes the multiplication by -5.
y=\frac{2x-z}{5}
Divide z-2x by -5.
