-5+2x=\frac{1}{2}y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2x=\frac{1}{2}y+5
Add 5 to both sides.
2x=\frac{y}{2}+5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{\frac{y}{2}+5}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=\frac{\frac{y}{2}+5}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=\frac{y}{4}+\frac{5}{2}
Divide \frac{y}{2}+5 by 2.
\frac{1}{2}y=2x-5
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\frac{1}{2}y}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{2x-5}{\frac{1}{2}}
Multiply both sides by 2.
y=\frac{2x-5}{\frac{1}{2}}
Dividing by \frac{1}{2} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{2}.
y=4x-10
Divide -5+2x by \frac{1}{2} by multiplying -5+2x by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{2}.
