To solve for x, we can isolate the variable by adding x to both sides of the equation:

1.5 - x + x = -4.5 + x

Simplifying the equation, we have:

1.5 = -4.5 + x

Next, we can subtract -4.5 from both sides of the equation:

1.5 - (-4.5) = -4.5 - (-4.5) + x

1.5 + 4.5 = x

6 = x

Thus, x = 6.

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 6.
