Solve[{5*a - c - d - e == 0.5, 
       4*b - c - e == 1, 
       6*c - a - b - d - e == 1, 
       4*d - a - c == 1, 
       5*e - a - b - c == 1.5}, 
      {a, b, c, d, e}]

{{a -> 0.4130434782608696, 
  b -> 0.5217391304347826, 
  c -> 0.5000000000000001, 
  d -> 0.4782608695652175, 
  e -> 0.5869565217391305}}
  
Works fine here. But note the use of Equal, "==" rather than Set, "="
