Davis Everett · Answer 1

y = x/5. or x over 5. you are trying to isolate y. in other words you are trying to get y all by itself on one side of the equation. To do that, you need to divide 5 by both sides. It is important to do what you do on one side to the other because that keeps that values of the equation the same.
