Solve for x y=5x-6

$y = 5 x - 6$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $5 x - 6 = y$ .

$5 x - 6 = y$

Step 2

Add $6$ to both sides of the equation.

$5 x = y + 6$

Step 3

Divide each term in $5 x = y + 6$ by $5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $5 x = y + 6$ by $5$ .

$\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{y}{5} + \frac{6}{5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{5 x}{5} = \frac{y}{5} + \frac{6}{5}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{y}{5} + \frac{6}{5}$
