You need to simplify both sides then isolate y by adding 4x to both side then diving both sides by 2:
2x + 5m = 2y - 4x
2x + 5m + 4x = 2y - 4x + 4x
6x + 5m = 2y
6x + 5m / 2 = 2y / 2
6x + 5m / 2 = y
So, y = 6x + 5m over 2, the second option

To solve 2x + 5m = 2y - 4x for y, we simply must put this equation into the y = format. To do this, we should try and isolate the variable y, as if we were solving the equation for this variable. Our first step to add 4x to both sides to get the variable term alone.
2x + 5m = 2y - 4x
2y - 4x = 2x + 5m (flip the sides of the equation)
2y = 6x + 5m
Next we must divide both sides of the equation by 2 in order to get the variable y by itself and cancel out the coefficient.
y = 6x + 5m / 2
Therefore, your answer is y = 6x + 5m / 2.
Hope this helps!
