Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.75) equal to 2.75 and -2.75.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.75 = 2.75 Simplifying x + 0.75 = 2.75 Reorder the terms: 0.75 + x = 2.75 Solving 0.75 + x = 2.75 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 = 2.75 + -0.75 Combine like terms: 0.75 + -0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 2.75 + -0.75 x = 2.75 + -0.75 Combine like terms: 2.75 + -0.75 = 2 x = 2 Simplifying x = 2

Subproblem 2

x + 0.75 = -2.75 Simplifying x + 0.75 = -2.75 Reorder the terms: 0.75 + x = -2.75 Solving 0.75 + x = -2.75 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 = -2.75 + -0.75 Combine like terms: 0.75 + -0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -2.75 + -0.75 x = -2.75 + -0.75 Combine like terms: -2.75 + -0.75 = -3.5 x = -3.5 Simplifying x = -3.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {2, -3.5}
