Hi,

Please help me solve this equation?

 y = 1/2x -5

IF you are solving for x

 2(y+5) = x

Uh oh!  The other tutor's answer has a sign wrong.

      y = x - 5

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear of fractions:

     2y = 2x - 10

     2y = x - 10
 +10        + 10
----------------
2y + 10 = x

Swap sides.

      x = 2y + 10
