May 23, 2016

$x = 5 (y - 4)$ $x=5(y-4)$

Explanation:

$Simplify$ $color(blue)"Simplify"$ $\frac{1}{5} x$ $1/5x$ to $\frac{x}{5}$ $x/5$
$y = \frac{x}{5} + 4$ $y=x/5+4$
$Subtract$ $color(green)"Subtract"$ 4 from both sides
$y - 4 = \frac{x}{5}$ $y−4=x/5$
$Multiply$ $color(red)"Multiply"$ both sides by 5
$(y - 4) \times 5 = x$ $(y−4)×5=x$
$Regroup terms$ $color(orange)"Regroup terms"$
$5 (y - 4) = x$ $5(y−4)=x$
$Switch sides$ $color(purple)"Switch sides"$
$x = 5 (y - 4)$ $x=5(y-4)$
