(x + -0.25) equal to 2.25 and -2.25.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.25 = 2.25 Simplifying x + -0.25 = 2.25 Reorder the terms: -0.25 + x = 2.25 Solving -0.25 + x = 2.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.25' to each side of the equation. -0.25 + 0.25 + x = 2.25 + 0.25 Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 2.25 + 0.25 x = 2.25 + 0.25 Combine like terms: 2.25 + 0.25 = 2.5 x = 2.5 Simplifying x = 2.5

Subproblem 2

x + -0.25 = -2.25 Simplifying x + -0.25 = -2.25 Reorder the terms: -0.25 + x = -2.25 Solving -0.25 + x = -2.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.25' to each side of the equation. -0.25 + 0.25 + x = -2.25 + 0.25 Combine like terms: -0.25 + 0.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -2.25 + 0.25 x = -2.25 + 0.25 Combine like terms: -2.25 + 0.25 = -2 x = -2 Simplifying x = -2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {2.5, -2}
