Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.5) equal to 4.5 and -4.5.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.5 = 4.5 Simplifying x + 0.5 = 4.5 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = 4.5 Solving 0.5 + x = 4.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + x = 4.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 4.5 + -0.5 x = 4.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 4.5 + -0.5 = 4 x = 4 Simplifying x = 4

Subproblem 2

x + 0.5 = -4.5 Simplifying x + 0.5 = -4.5 Reorder the terms: 0.5 + x = -4.5 Solving 0.5 + x = -4.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation. 0.5 + -0.5 + x = -4.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -4.5 + -0.5 x = -4.5 + -0.5 Combine like terms: -4.5 + -0.5 = -5 x = -5 Simplifying x = -5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {4, -5}
