Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 1) equal to 9 and -9.

Subproblem 1

x + 1 = 9 Simplifying x + 1 = 9 Reorder the terms: 1 + x = 9 Solving 1 + x = 9 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + x = 9 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + x = 9 + -1 x = 9 + -1 Combine like terms: 9 + -1 = 8 x = 8 Simplifying x = 8

Subproblem 2

x + 1 = -9 Simplifying x + 1 = -9 Reorder the terms: 1 + x = -9 Solving 1 + x = -9 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + x = -9 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + x = -9 + -1 x = -9 + -1 Combine like terms: -9 + -1 = -10 x = -10 Simplifying x = -10

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {8, -10}
