Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -1) equal to 0.5 and -0.5.

Subproblem 1

x + -1 = 0.5 Simplifying x + -1 = 0.5 Reorder the terms: -1 + x = 0.5 Solving -1 + x = 0.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + 1 + x = 0.5 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + x = 0.5 + 1 x = 0.5 + 1 Combine like terms: 0.5 + 1 = 1.5 x = 1.5 Simplifying x = 1.5

Subproblem 2

x + -1 = -0.5 Simplifying x + -1 = -0.5 Reorder the terms: -1 + x = -0.5 Solving -1 + x = -0.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1' to each side of the equation. -1 + 1 + x = -0.5 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 0 + x = -0.5 + 1 x = -0.5 + 1 Combine like terms: -0.5 + 1 = 0.5 x = 0.5 Simplifying x = 0.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {1.5, 0.5}
