Subproblem 1
x + 6 = 5.477225575

Simplifying
x + 6 = 5.477225575

Reorder the terms:
6 + x = 5.477225575

Solving
6 + x = 5.477225575

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + x = 5.477225575 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + x = 5.477225575 + -6
x = 5.477225575 + -6

Combine like terms: 5.477225575 + -6 = -0.522774425
x = -0.522774425

Simplifying
x = -0.522774425

Subproblem 2
x + 6 = -5.477225575

Simplifying
x + 6 = -5.477225575

Reorder the terms:
6 + x = -5.477225575

Solving
6 + x = -5.477225575

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + x = -5.477225575 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + x = -5.477225575 + -6
x = -5.477225575 + -6

Combine like terms: -5.477225575 + -6 = -11.477225575
x = -11.477225575

Simplifying
x = -11.477225575

Solution
