Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x + 1.25) equal to 2.25 and -2.25.


Subproblem 1
x + 1.25 = 2.25

Simplifying
x + 1.25 = 2.25

Reorder the terms:
1.25 + x = 2.25

Solving
1.25 + x = 2.25

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1.25' to each side of the equation.
1.25 + -1.25 + x = 2.25 + -1.25

Combine like terms: 1.25 + -1.25 = 0.00
0.00 + x = 2.25 + -1.25
x = 2.25 + -1.25

Combine like terms: 2.25 + -1.25 = 1
x = 1

Simplifying
x = 1


Subproblem 2
x + 1.25 = -2.25

Simplifying
x + 1.25 = -2.25

Reorder the terms:
1.25 + x = -2.25

Solving
1.25 + x = -2.25

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1.25' to each side of the equation.
1.25 + -1.25 + x = -2.25 + -1.25

Combine like terms: 1.25 + -1.25 = 0.00
0.00 + x = -2.25 + -1.25
x = -2.25 + -1.25

Combine like terms: -2.25 + -1.25 = -3.5
x = -3.5

Simplifying
x = -3.5


Solution
