Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -7.5) equal to 32.5 and -32.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -7.5 = 32.5 Simplifying x + -7.5 = 32.5 Reorder the terms: -7.5 + x = 32.5 Solving -7.5 + x = 32.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '7.5' to each side of the equation. -7.5 + 7.5 + x = 32.5 + 7.5 Combine like terms: -7.5 + 7.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 32.5 + 7.5 x = 32.5 + 7.5 Combine like terms: 32.5 + 7.5 = 40 x = 40 Simplifying x = 40

Subproblem 2

x + -7.5 = -32.5 Simplifying x + -7.5 = -32.5 Reorder the terms: -7.5 + x = -32.5 Solving -7.5 + x = -32.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '7.5' to each side of the equation. -7.5 + 7.5 + x = -32.5 + 7.5 Combine like terms: -7.5 + 7.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -32.5 + 7.5 x = -32.5 + 7.5 Combine like terms: -32.5 + 7.5 = -25 x = -25 Simplifying x = -25

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {40, -25}
