Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -1.5) equal to 3.5 and -3.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -1.5 = 3.5 Simplifying x + -1.5 = 3.5 Reorder the terms: -1.5 + x = 3.5 Solving -1.5 + x = 3.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.5' to each side of the equation. -1.5 + 1.5 + x = 3.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 3.5 + 1.5 x = 3.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: 3.5 + 1.5 = 5 x = 5 Simplifying x = 5

Subproblem 2

x + -1.5 = -3.5 Simplifying x + -1.5 = -3.5 Reorder the terms: -1.5 + x = -3.5 Solving -1.5 + x = -3.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.5' to each side of the equation. -1.5 + 1.5 + x = -3.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -3.5 + 1.5 x = -3.5 + 1.5 Combine like terms: -3.5 + 1.5 = -2 x = -2 Simplifying x = -2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {5, -2}
