Final answer:

There is no solution for this system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x and y for the system of equations, we will solve them simultaneously:

1) Equation 1: y = x - 1

2) Equation 2: -x + 3/2 = -y

Let's substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2:

-x + 3/2 = -(x - 1)

-x + 3/2 = -x + 1

3/2 = 1

Since 3/2 is not equal to 1, there is no solution for this system of equations.
