x = 0.693000468

Simplifying
x = 0.693000468


Subproblem 2
x + 0.375 = -1.068000468

Simplifying
x + 0.375 = -1.068000468

Reorder the terms:
0.375 + x = -1.068000468

Solving
0.375 + x = -1.068000468

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-0.375' to each side of the equation.
0.375 + -0.375 + x = -1.068000468 + -0.375

Combine like terms: 0.375 + -0.375 = 0.000
0.000 + x = -1.068000468 + -0.375
x = -1.068000468 + -0.375

Combine like terms: -1.068000468 + -0.375 = -1.443000468
x = -1.443000468

Simplifying
x = -1.443000468
