Answer:
y = -1.8
Step-by-step explanation:
0.6+(0.5y-1)=y+0.5
the parenthesis can be remove because there is no multiplication
0.6 + 0.5y - 1 = y + 0.5
now combine numbers
0.6 - 1 + 0.5y = y + 0.5
-0.4 + 0.5y = y + 0.5
subtract 0.5 from both sides
-0.4 - 0.5 + 0.5y = y
-0.9 + 0.5y = y
now subtract 0.5y from both sides
-0.9 = 1y - 0.5y
-0.9 = 0.5y
now divide both sides by 0.5 and switch
y = -1.8
