Subproblem 1

x + 1.25 = 2.75 Simplifying x + 1.25 = 2.75 Reorder the terms: 1.25 + x = 2.75 Solving 1.25 + x = 2.75 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.25' to each side of the equation. 1.25 + -1.25 + x = 2.75 + -1.25 Combine like terms: 1.25 + -1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 2.75 + -1.25 x = 2.75 + -1.25 Combine like terms: 2.75 + -1.25 = 1.5 x = 1.5 Simplifying x = 1.5

Subproblem 2

x + 1.25 = -2.75 Simplifying x + 1.25 = -2.75 Reorder the terms: 1.25 + x = -2.75 Solving 1.25 + x = -2.75 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.25' to each side of the equation. 1.25 + -1.25 + x = -2.75 + -1.25 Combine like terms: 1.25 + -1.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -2.75 + -1.25 x = -2.75 + -1.25 Combine like terms: -2.75 + -1.25 = -4 x = -4 Simplifying x = -4

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {1.5, -4}
