Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(2.25 + x4)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
2.25 + x4 = 0

Solving
2.25 + x4 = 0

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

Add '-2.25' to each side of the equation.
2.25 + -2.25 + x4 = 0 + -2.25

Combine like terms: 2.25 + -2.25 = 0.00
0.00 + x4 = 0 + -2.25
x4 = 0 + -2.25

Combine like terms: 0 + -2.25 = -2.25
x4 = -2.25

Simplifying
x4 = -2.25

Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1.5 + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1.5 + x2 = 0

Solving
1.5 + x2 = 0

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 + x2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 1.5 + -1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x2 = 0 + -1.5
x2 = 0 + -1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + -1.5 = -1.5
x2 = -1.5

Simplifying
x2 = -1.5

Subproblem 3
Set the factor '(-1.5 + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-1.5 + x2 = 0

Solving
-1.5 + x2 = 0

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 + x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: -1.5 + 1.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x2 = 0 + 1.5
x2 = 0 + 1.5

Combine like terms: 0 + 1.5 = 1.5
x2 = 1.5

Simplifying
x2 = 1.5
