Answer:

There is no x to solve, so I will solve for y.

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
