#x=-5/6y+6#

Explanation:

Given:#" "y=-5/6 x+5#

Subtract #color(red)(5)# from both sides

#color(green)(ycolor(red)(-5)=-5/6x+5color(red)(-5))#

#y-5=-5/6x#

Multiply both side by #-1# to make #-5/6x# positive

#-y+5=+5/6x#

Multiply both sides by #6/5#. Turns the #5/6# from #5/6x# into 1

#6/5(-y+5)=x#

#-5/6y+6=x#

Write as: #x=-5/6y+6#
