Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 2.5) equal to 3.75 and -3.75.

Subproblem 1

x + 2.5 = 3.75 Simplifying x + 2.5 = 3.75 Reorder the terms: 2.5 + x = 3.75 Solving 2.5 + x = 3.75 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation. 2.5 + -2.5 + x = 3.75 + -2.5 Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = 3.75 + -2.5 x = 3.75 + -2.5 Combine like terms: 3.75 + -2.5 = 1.25 x = 1.25 Simplifying x = 1.25

Subproblem 2

x + 2.5 = -3.75 Simplifying x + 2.5 = -3.75 Reorder the terms: 2.5 + x = -3.75 Solving 2.5 + x = -3.75 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.5' to each side of the equation. 2.5 + -2.5 + x = -3.75 + -2.5 Combine like terms: 2.5 + -2.5 = 0.0 0.0 + x = -3.75 + -2.5 x = -3.75 + -2.5 Combine like terms: -3.75 + -2.5 = -6.25 x = -6.25 Simplifying x = -6.25

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {1.25, -6.25}
