\frac{1}{2}x=y-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
\frac{\frac{1}{2}x}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{y-5}{\frac{1}{2}}
Multiply both sides by 2.
x=\frac{y-5}{\frac{1}{2}}
Dividing by \frac{1}{2} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{2}.
x=2y-10
Divide y-5 by \frac{1}{2} by multiplying y-5 by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{2}.
y=\frac{1}{2}x+5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
