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