(x + 30) equal to 70 and -70.

Subproblem 1

x + 30 = 70 Simplifying x + 30 = 70 Reorder the terms: 30 + x = 70 Solving 30 + x = 70 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-30' to each side of the equation. 30 + -30 + x = 70 + -30 Combine like terms: 30 + -30 = 0 0 + x = 70 + -30 x = 70 + -30 Combine like terms: 70 + -30 = 40 x = 40 Simplifying x = 40

Subproblem 2

x + 30 = -70 Simplifying x + 30 = -70 Reorder the terms: 30 + x = -70 Solving 30 + x = -70 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-30' to each side of the equation. 30 + -30 + x = -70 + -30 Combine like terms: 30 + -30 = 0 0 + x = -70 + -30 x = -70 + -30 Combine like terms: -70 + -30 = -100 x = -100 Simplifying x = -100

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {40, -100}
