Answer:

y=x+w/5

Explanation:

x=5y-w

step 1: bring the additional letters/numbers next to the "5y" over to the left

x+w= 5y

step 2: divide the numbers and letters on both sides of the "=" by 5 to only get the letter y

x+w/5= y

step 3: swap them over

y= x+w/5

(we can't get an answer from x+w/5 because the terms are unlike, therefore we keep it as a fraction
