Subproblem 1
x + 1 = 6.164414003

Simplifying
x + 1 = 6.164414003

Reorder the terms:
1 + x = 6.164414003

Solving
1 + x = 6.164414003

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + x = 6.164414003 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + x = 6.164414003 + -1
x = 6.164414003 + -1

Combine like terms: 6.164414003 + -1 = 5.164414003
x = 5.164414003

Simplifying
x = 5.164414003

Subproblem 2
x + 1 = -6.164414003

Simplifying
x + 1 = -6.164414003

Reorder the terms:
1 + x = -6.164414003

Solving
1 + x = -6.164414003

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + x = -6.164414003 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + x = -6.164414003 + -1
x = -6.164414003 + -1

Combine like terms: -6.164414003 + -1 = -7.164414003
x = -7.164414003

Simplifying
x = -7.164414003

Solution
The solution to the problem is based on the solutions
from the subproblems.
x = {5.164414003, -7.164414003}
