(x + -12.5) equal to 2.5 and -2.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -12.5 = 2.5 Simplifying x + -12.5 = 2.5 Reorder the terms: -12.5 + x = 2.5 Solving -12.5 + x = 2.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '12.5' to each side of the equation. -12.5 + 12.5 + x = 2.5 + 12.5 Combine like terms: -12.5 + 12.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 2.5 + 12.5 x = 2.5 + 12.5 Combine like terms: 2.5 + 12.5 = 15 x = 15 Simplifying x = 15

Subproblem 2

x + -12.5 = -2.5 Simplifying x + -12.5 = -2.5 Reorder the terms: -12.5 + x = -2.5 Solving -12.5 + x = -2.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '12.5' to each side of the equation. -12.5 + 12.5 + x = -2.5 + 12.5 Combine like terms: -12.5 + 12.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -2.5 + 12.5 x = -2.5 + 12.5 Combine like terms: -2.5 + 12.5 = 10 x = 10 Simplifying x = 10

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {15, 10}
