Question

y-5x=0

Answer 1

What are you solving for?

Answer 2

If you're solving for y, then isolate it.
y = 5x
Which means y is 1/5th of x.
If you're solving for x, then isolate it.
5x = y
x = y / 5
Which means that x is 5 times larger than y.

Answer 3

@jcpd910 : Better check that "x is 5 times larger than y." I think not.

@lewpiper7885: Please include the directions that usually come with each problem. In this case, you might want to type, "solve y-5x=0 for x,": OR "solve y-5x for y." Which do you mean?

Answer 4

Oops, thanks for catching that @mathmale
it takes 1 x to = 1/5 y, so y is five times larger, and x is one fifth of y.
