Answer:

x = -4.5

Explanation:

Solving the equation :


\left\vert -4+(5)/(2) \right\vert -\left( -x\right) =-3


\Longleftrightarrow \left\vert (-8)/(2) +(5)/(2) \right\vert +x =-3


\Longleftrightarrow \left\vert (-8+5)/(2) \right\vert +x =-3


\Longleftrightarrow \left\vert (-3)/(2) \right\vert +x =-3


\Longleftrightarrow (3)/(2) +x =-3


\Longleftrightarrow x =-3-(3)/(2)


\Longleftrightarrow x =-(6)/(2) -(3)/(2)


\Longleftrightarrow x = -((6)/(2) +(3)/(2) )


\Longleftrightarrow x =-(9)/(2)


\Longleftrightarrow x =-4.5
