(x + 50) equal to 70 and -70.

Subproblem 1

x + 50 = 70 Simplifying x + 50 = 70 Reorder the terms: 50 + x = 70 Solving 50 + x = 70 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-50' to each side of the equation. 50 + -50 + x = 70 + -50 Combine like terms: 50 + -50 = 0 0 + x = 70 + -50 x = 70 + -50 Combine like terms: 70 + -50 = 20 x = 20 Simplifying x = 20

Subproblem 2

x + 50 = -70 Simplifying x + 50 = -70 Reorder the terms: 50 + x = -70 Solving 50 + x = -70 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-50' to each side of the equation. 50 + -50 + x = -70 + -50 Combine like terms: 50 + -50 = 0 0 + x = -70 + -50 x = -70 + -50 Combine like terms: -70 + -50 = -120 x = -120 Simplifying x = -120

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {20, -120}
