| 1 | ÷ | 2 | × | y | + | 1 | = | 4 | y | − | 2 | ÷ | 5 | − | y |
| Left side of the equation = | 1 2 | y | + | 1 |
1 2 | y | + | 1 | = | 4 | y | − | 2 | ÷ | 5 | − | y |
| Right side of the equation = | 4 | y | − | 2 5 | − | y |
| = | 3 | y | − | 2 5 |
1 2 | y | + | 1 | = | 3 | y | − | 2 5 |
1 2 | y | − | 3 | y | = | - | 2 5 | − | 1 |
| - | 5 2 | y | = | - | 2 5 | − | 1 |
| - | 5 2 | y | = | - | 7 5 |
7 5 | = | 5 2 | y |
5 2 | y | = | 7 5 |
| y | = | 7 5 | ÷ | 5 2 |
| = | 7 5 | × | 2 5 |
| y | = | 14 25 |
| y | = | 0.56 |
