Here's another solution:

Clear[a, b, c, d, e]
m = {5a - c - d - e == 1/2,
  4b - c - e == 1, 6c - a - b - d - e == 1, 4d - a - c == 1,
  5e - a - b - c == 3/2};
variables = Variables /@ m[[All, 1]] // Flatten // Union

{a, b, c, d, e}

MatrixForm[matrix = Outer[Coefficient, m[[All, 1]], variables]]

MatrixForm[{{5, 0, -1, -1,
     -1}, {0, 4, -1, 0, -1},
    {-1, -1, 6, -1, -1},
    {-1, 0, -1, 4, 0},
    {-1, -1, -1, 0, 5}}]

MatrixForm[inverse = Inverse@matrix]

MatrixForm[{{393/1610, 57/1610, 1/14, 127/1610, 113/1610},
  {57/1610, 463/1610, 1/14, 43/1610, 127/1610},
  {1/14, 1/14, 3/14, 1/14, 1/14},
  {127/1610, 43/1610, 1/14, 463/1610, 57/1610},
  {113/1610, 127/1610, 1/14, 57/1610, 393/1610}}]

rhs = m[[All, -1]]

{1/2, 1, 1, 1, 3/2}

inverse.rhs

{19/46, 12/23, 1/2, 11/23, 27/46}
