(a + 0.5) equal to 1 and -1.


Subproblem 1
a + 0.5 = 1

Simplifying
a + 0.5 = 1

Reorder the terms:
0.5 + a = 1

Solving
0.5 + a = 1

Solving for variable 'a'.

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

Add '-0.5' to each side of the equation.
0.5 + -0.5 + a = 1 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + a = 1 + -0.5
a = 1 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 1 + -0.5 = 0.5
a = 0.5

Simplifying
a = 0.5


Subproblem 2
a + 0.5 = -1

Simplifying
a + 0.5 = -1

Reorder the terms:

0.5 + -0.5 + a = -1 + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.5 + -0.5 = 0.0
0.0 + a = -1 + -0.5
a = -1 + -0.5

Combine like terms: -1 + -0.5 = -1.5
a = -1.5

Simplifying
a = -1.5


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