y = -0.5

Simplifying
y = -0.5
Subproblem 3
Set the factor '(5 + -1y)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
5 + -1y = 0

Solving
5 + -1y = 0

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-5' to each side of the equation.
5 + -5 + -1y = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
0 + -1y = 0 + -5
-1y = 0 + -5

Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5
-1y = -5

Divide each side by '-1'.
y = 5

Simplifying
y = 5
Solution
y = {-0.5, 5}
