Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -3.5) equal to 5.5 and -5.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -3.5 = 5.5 Simplifying x + -3.5 = 5.5 Reorder the terms: -3.5 + x = 5.5 Solving -3.5 + x = 5.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '3.5' to each side of the equation. -3.5 + 3.5 + x = 5.5 + 3.5 Combine like terms: -3.5 + 3.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 5.5 + 3.5 x = 5.5 + 3.5 Combine like terms: 5.5 + 3.5 = 9 x = 9 Simplifying x = 9

Subproblem 2

x + -3.5 = -5.5 Simplifying x + -3.5 = -5.5 Reorder the terms: -3.5 + x = -5.5 Solving -3.5 + x = -5.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '3.5' to each side of the equation. -3.5 + 3.5 + x = -5.5 + 3.5 Combine like terms: -3.5 + 3.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -5.5 + 3.5 x = -5.5 + 3.5 Combine like terms: -5.5 + 3.5 = -2 x = -2 Simplifying x = -2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {9, -2}
