-\frac{1}{2}x-5=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-\frac{1}{2}x=y+5
Add 5 to 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}.
