(x + 25) equal to 45 and -45.

Subproblem 1

x + 25 = 45 Simplifying x + 25 = 45 Reorder the terms: 25 + x = 45 Solving 25 + x = 45 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-25' to each side of the equation. 25 + -25 + x = 45 + -25 Combine like terms: 25 + -25 = 0 0 + x = 45 + -25 x = 45 + -25 Combine like terms: 45 + -25 = 20 x = 20 Simplifying x = 20

Subproblem 2

x + 25 = -45 Simplifying x + 25 = -45 Reorder the terms: 25 + x = -45 Solving 25 + x = -45 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-25' to each side of the equation. 25 + -25 + x = -45 + -25 Combine like terms: 25 + -25 = 0 0 + x = -45 + -25 x = -45 + -25 Combine like terms: -45 + -25 = -70 x = -70 Simplifying x = -70

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {20, -70}
