(x + 0.125) equal to 2.125 and -2.125.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.125 = 2.125 Simplifying x + 0.125 = 2.125 Reorder the terms: 0.125 + x = 2.125 Solving 0.125 + x = 2.125 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.125' to each side of the equation. 0.125 + -0.125 + x = 2.125 + -0.125 Combine like terms: 0.125 + -0.125 = 0.000 0.000 + x = 2.125 + -0.125 x = 2.125 + -0.125 Combine like terms: 2.125 + -0.125 = 2 x = 2 Simplifying x = 2

Subproblem 2

x + 0.125 = -2.125 Simplifying x + 0.125 = -2.125 Reorder the terms: 0.125 + x = -2.125 Solving 0.125 + x = -2.125 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.125' to each side of the equation. 0.125 + -0.125 + x = -2.125 + -0.125 Combine like terms: 0.125 + -0.125 = 0.000 0.000 + x = -2.125 + -0.125 x = -2.125 + -0.125 Combine like terms: -2.125 + -0.125 = -2.25 x = -2.25 Simplifying x = -2.25
