(x + 0.875) equal to 1.125 and -1.125.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.875 = 1.125 Simplifying x + 0.875 = 1.125 Reorder the terms: 0.875 + x = 1.125 Solving 0.875 + x = 1.125 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.875' to each side of the equation. 0.875 + -0.875 + x = 1.125 + -0.875 Combine like terms: 0.875 + -0.875 = 0.000 0.000 + x = 1.125 + -0.875 x = 1.125 + -0.875 Combine like terms: 1.125 + -0.875 = 0.25 x = 0.25 Simplifying x = 0.25

Subproblem 2

x + 0.875 = -1.125 Simplifying x + 0.875 = -1.125 Reorder the terms: 0.875 + x = -1.125 Solving 0.875 + x = -1.125 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.875' to each side of the equation. 0.875 + -0.875 + x = -1.125 + -0.875 Combine like terms: 0.875 + -0.875 = 0.000 0.000 + x = -1.125 + -0.875 x = -1.125 + -0.875 Combine like terms: -1.125 + -0.875 = -2 x = -2 Simplifying x = -2

Solution
