Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + -0.75) equal to 3.25 and -3.25.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.75 = 3.25 Simplifying x + -0.75 = 3.25 Reorder the terms: -0.75 + x = 3.25 Solving -0.75 + x = 3.25 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 = 3.25 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -0.75 + 0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 3.25 + 0.75 x = 3.25 + 0.75 Combine like terms: 3.25 + 0.75 = 4 x = 4 Simplifying x = 4

Subproblem 2

x + -0.75 = -3.25 Simplifying x + -0.75 = -3.25 Reorder the terms: -0.75 + x = -3.25 Solving -0.75 + x = -3.25 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 = -3.25 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -0.75 + 0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -3.25 + 0.75 x = -3.25 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -3.25 + 0.75 = -2.5 x = -2.5 Simplifying x = -2.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {4, -2.5}
