(y + 0.5)(y + 0.5) = 2.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 1.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(y + 0.5) equal to 1.5 and -1.5.

Subproblem 1

y + 0.5 = 1.5 Simplifying y + 0.5 = 1.5 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + y = 1.5 Solving 0.5 + y = 1.5 Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + y = 1.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + y = 1.5 + -0.5 y = 1.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + -0.5 = 1 y = 1 Simplifying y = 1

Subproblem 2

y + 0.5 = -1.5 Simplifying y + 0.5 = -1.5 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + y = -1.5 Solving 0.5 + y = -1.5 Solving for variable 'y'. Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + y = -1.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + y = -1.5 + -0.5 y = -1.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + -0.5 = -2 y = -2 Simplifying y = -2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. y = {1, -2}
