**Using Euler's Method to Approximate Solutions of Differential Equations**

To apply Euler's method with a step size of 0.5 to compute the approximate \( y \)-values \( y_1, y_2, y_3 \), and \( y_4 \) for the initial-value problem:

\[
y' = y - 5x, \quad y(3) = 0
\]

we will follow these steps:

1. **Initialize the starting values:**
   - \( x_0 = 3 \)
   - \( y_0 = 0 \)

2. **Compute each subsequent \( y \)-value using the formula:**
   \[ y_{n+1} = y_n + h \cdot f(x_n, y_n) \]
   where \( h = 0.5 \) is the step size and \( f(x, y) = y - 5x \).

### Iteration 1
\[
x_1 = x_0 + 0.5 = 3.5
\]
\[
y_1 = y_0 + 0.5 \cdot (y_0 - 5x_0) = 0 + 0.5 \cdot (0 - 15) = 0 - 7.5 = -7.5
\]

### Iteration 2
\[
x_2 = x_1 + 0.5 = 4.0
\]
\[
y_2 = y_1 + 0.5 \cdot (y_1 - 5x_1) = -7.5 + 0.5 \cdot (-7.5 - 17.5) = -7.5 + 0.5 \cdot (-25) = -7.5 - 12.5 = -20
\]

### Iteration 3
\[
x_3 = x_2 + 0.5 = 4.5
\]
\[
y_3 = y_2 + 0.5 \cdot (y_2 - 5x_2) = -20 + 0.5 \cdot (-20 - 20) = -20 + 0.5 \cdot (-40) = -20 - 20 = -40
\]
