Answer:

The value of x is 3

Explanation:

Hello

Here we have a linear function


y=x-(1)/(2)\\ \\

also

we have a coordinate with unknown independent variable


P1(x,(5)/(2) )

there is a number x that meets


y=x-(1)/(2)\\(5)/(2)=x-(1)/(2)\\\ x=(5)/(2)+(1)/(2)\\\ x=(6)/(2)\\x=3

the value of x is 3

I hope it helps
