Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 1.75) equal to 4.25 and -4.25.

Subproblem 1

x + 1.75 = 4.25 Simplifying x + 1.75 = 4.25 Reorder the terms: 1.75 + x = 4.25 Solving 1.75 + x = 4.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.75' to each side of the equation. 1.75 + -1.75 + x = 4.25 + -1.75 Combine like terms: 1.75 + -1.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 4.25 + -1.75 x = 4.25 + -1.75 Combine like terms: 4.25 + -1.75 = 2.5 x = 2.5 Simplifying x = 2.5

Subproblem 2

x + 1.75 = -4.25 Simplifying x + 1.75 = -4.25 Reorder the terms: 1.75 + x = -4.25 Solving 1.75 + x = -4.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.75' to each side of the equation. 1.75 + -1.75 + x = -4.25 + -1.75 Combine like terms: 1.75 + -1.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -4.25 + -1.75 x = -4.25 + -1.75 Combine like terms: -4.25 + -1.75 = -6 x = -6 Simplifying x = -6

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {2.5, -6}
