Add '-0.7' to each side of the equation.
0.7 + -0.7 + x = 1.3 + -0.7

Combine like terms: 0.7 + -0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 1.3 + -0.7
x = 1.3 + -0.7

Combine like terms: 1.3 + -0.7 = 0.6
x = 0.6

Simplifying
x = 0.6


Subproblem 2
x + 0.7 = -1.3

Simplifying
x + 0.7 = -1.3

Reorder the terms:
0.7 + x = -1.3

Solving
0.7 + x = -1.3

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.7' to each side of the equation.
0.7 + -0.7 + x = -1.3 + -0.7

Combine like terms: 0.7 + -0.7 = 0.0
0.0 + x = -1.3 + -0.7
x = -1.3 + -0.7

Combine like terms: -1.3 + -0.7 = -2
x = -2

Simplifying
x = -2


Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
x = {0.6, -2}
