To solve for x in the equation 1.5 - x = -4.5, we can start by isolating the variable x.
To do this, let's get rid of the 1.5 on the left side by subtracting it from both sides:
1.5 - 1.5 - x = -4.5 - 1.5
This simplifies to:
-x = -6
Next, to solve for x, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by -1 in order to isolate x. Multiply -1 with both sides:
-1 * -x = -1 * -6
This simplifies to:
x = 6
Therefore, the solution to the equation 1.5 - x = -4.5 is x = 6.
1.5 - x = -4.5
