(x + 0.075) equal to 0.675 and -0.675.

Subproblem 1

x + 0.075 = 0.675 Simplifying x + 0.075 = 0.675 Reorder the terms: 0.075 + x = 0.675 Solving 0.075 + x = 0.675 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.075' to each side of the equation. 0.075 + -0.075 + x = 0.675 + -0.075 Combine like terms: 0.075 + -0.075 = 0.000 0.000 + x = 0.675 + -0.075 x = 0.675 + -0.075 Combine like terms: 0.675 + -0.075 = 0.6 x = 0.6 Simplifying x = 0.6

Subproblem 2

x + 0.075 = -0.675 Simplifying x + 0.075 = -0.675 Reorder the terms: 0.075 + x = -0.675 Solving 0.075 + x = -0.675 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-0.075' to each side of the equation. 0.075 + -0.075 + x = -0.675 + -0.075 Combine like terms: 0.075 + -0.075 = 0.000 0.000 + x = -0.675 + -0.075 x = -0.675 + -0.075 Combine like terms: -0.675 + -0.075 = -0.75 x = -0.75 Simplifying x = -0.75
