Subproblem 1

x + 1 = 2 Simplifying x + 1 = 2 Reorder the terms: 1 + x = 2 Solving 1 + x = 2 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + x = 2 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + x = 2 + -1 x = 2 + -1 Combine like terms: 2 + -1 = 1 x = 1 Simplifying x = 1

Subproblem 2

x + 1 = -2 Simplifying x + 1 = -2 Reorder the terms: 1 + x = -2 Solving 1 + x = -2 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + x = -2 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + x = -2 + -1 x = -2 + -1 Combine like terms: -2 + -1 = -3 x = -3 Simplifying x = -3

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {1, -3}
