(x + 0.75) equal to 1.25 and -1.25.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.75 = 1.25 Simplifying x + 0.75 = 1.25 Reorder the terms: 0.75 + x = 1.25 Solving 0.75 + x = 1.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.75' to each side of the equation. 0.75 + -0.75 + x = 1.25 + -0.75 Combine like terms: 0.75 + -0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 1.25 + -0.75 x = 1.25 + -0.75 Combine like terms: 1.25 + -0.75 = 0.5 x = 0.5 Simplifying x = 0.5

Subproblem 2

x + 0.75 = -1.25 Simplifying x + 0.75 = -1.25 Reorder the terms: 0.75 + x = -1.25 Solving 0.75 + x = -1.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.75' to each side of the equation. 0.75 + -0.75 + x = -1.25 + -0.75 Combine like terms: 0.75 + -0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -1.25 + -0.75 x = -1.25 + -0.75 Combine like terms: -1.25 + -0.75 = -2 x = -2 Simplifying x = -2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {0.5, -2}
