So you are integrating one side with respect to x and the other side with respect to y, and the justification is we 'integrate both sides' in the same way as 'we add 5 to both sides' but it isn't clear that the operations are equivalent. So something like this I can follow:
Because each time exactly the same operation occurs. Perhaps one can justify integrating with respect to different variables with the definition of the integral?
