Rearrange this equation to make 'x' the subject:

y=a+b/5x

Maths is not my strong subject!

Thanks

[jan1956]

think it is x= (a+b)/5  -y

[Ternigapp]

Thanks for that

[gen2]

Start with
  y = a + b/5x
subtract a from each side
  y-a = b/5x
multiply both sides by 5x
  5x(y-a) = b
divide both sides by y-a
  5x = b/(y-a)
divide both sides by 5
  x = b/5(y-a)
