Simplifying
x + 8.5 = 64.5

Reorder the terms:
8.5 + x = 64.5

Solving
8.5 + x = 64.5

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-8.5' to each side of the equation.
8.5 + -8.5 + x = 64.5 + -8.5

Combine like terms:
8.5 + -8.5 = 0.0
0.0 + x = 64.5 + -8.5
x = 64.5 + -8.5

Combine like terms: 64.5 + -8.5 = 56
x = 56

Simplifying x = 56
