Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 0.375) equal to 3.625 and -3.625.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.375 = 3.625 Simplifying x + 0.375 = 3.625 Reorder the terms: 0.375 + x = 3.625 Solving 0.375 + x = 3.625 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.375' to each side of the equation. 0.375 + -0.375 + x = 3.625 + -0.375 Combine like terms: 0.375 + -0.375 = 0.000 0.000 + x = 3.625 + -0.375 x = 3.625 + -0.375 Combine like terms: 3.625 + -0.375 = 3.25 x = 3.25 Simplifying x = 3.25

Subproblem 2

x + 0.375 = -3.625 Simplifying x + 0.375 = -3.625 Reorder the terms: 0.375 + x = -3.625 Solving 0.375 + x = -3.625 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.375' to each side of the equation. 0.375 + -0.375 + x = -3.625 + -0.375 Combine like terms: 0.375 + -0.375 = 0.000 0.000 + x = -3.625 + -0.375 x = -3.625 + -0.375 Combine like terms: -3.625 + -0.375 = -4 x = -4 Simplifying x = -4

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {3.25, -4}
