Subproblem 1

x + 3.5 = 10.5 Simplifying x + 3.5 = 10.5 Reorder the terms: 3.5 + x = 10.5 Solving 3.5 + x = 10.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3.5' to each side of the equation. 3.5 + -3.5 + x = 10.5 + -3.5 Combine like terms: 3.5 + -3.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 10.5 + -3.5 x = 10.5 + -3.5 Combine like terms: 10.5 + -3.5 = 7 x = 7 Simplifying x = 7

Subproblem 2

x + 3.5 = -10.5 Simplifying x + 3.5 = -10.5 Reorder the terms: 3.5 + x = -10.5 Solving 3.5 + x = -10.5 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3.5' to each side of the equation. 3.5 + -3.5 + x = -10.5 + -3.5 Combine like terms: 3.5 + -3.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -10.5 + -3.5 x = -10.5 + -3.5 Combine like terms: -10.5 + -3.5 = -14 x = -14 Simplifying x = -14

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {7, -14}
