(x + -6.5) equal to 1.5 and -1.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -6.5 = 1.5 Simplifying x + -6.5 = 1.5 Reorder the terms: -6.5 + x = 1.5 Solving -6.5 + x = 1.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '6.5' to each side of the equation. -6.5 + 6.5 + x = 1.5 + 6.5 Combine like terms: -6.5 + 6.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 1.5 + 6.5 x = 1.5 + 6.5 Combine like terms: 1.5 + 6.5 = 8 x = 8 Simplifying x = 8

Subproblem 2

x + -6.5 = -1.5 Simplifying x + -6.5 = -1.5 Reorder the terms: -6.5 + x = -1.5 Solving -6.5 + x = -1.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '6.5' to each side of the equation. -6.5 + 6.5 + x = -1.5 + 6.5 Combine like terms: -6.5 + 6.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -1.5 + 6.5 x = -1.5 + 6.5 Combine like terms: -1.5 + 6.5 = 5 x = 5 Simplifying x = 5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {8, 5}
