Equation step-by-step:
2.5x + 10 = x - 0.5 → we take 10 to the right side of the equation
2.5x = x - 0.5 - 10 → we solve for -0.5 - 10
2.5x = x - 10.5 → we take x to the left side of the equation
2.5x - x = -10.5 → we solve for 2.5x - x
1.5x = -10.5 → we take 1.5 to the right side of the equation
x = -10.5 / 1.5 → we solve for -10.5 / 1.5
x = -7 → final answer
