(x + 1.55) equal to 0.95 and -0.95.

Subproblem 1

x + 1.55 = 0.95 Simplifying x + 1.55 = 0.95 Reorder the terms: 1.55 + x = 0.95 Solving 1.55 + x = 0.95 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.55' to each side of the equation. 1.55 + -1.55 + x = 0.95 + -1.55 Combine like terms: 1.55 + -1.55 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 0.95 + -1.55 x = 0.95 + -1.55 Combine like terms: 0.95 + -1.55 = -0.6 x = -0.6 Simplifying x = -0.6

Subproblem 2

x + 1.55 = -0.95 Simplifying x + 1.55 = -0.95 Reorder the terms: 1.55 + x = -0.95 Solving 1.55 + x = -0.95 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1.55' to each side of the equation. 1.55 + -1.55 + x = -0.95 + -1.55 Combine like terms: 1.55 + -1.55 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -0.95 + -1.55 x = -0.95 + -1.55 Combine like terms: -0.95 + -1.55 = -2.5 x = -2.5 Simplifying x = -2.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {-0.6, -2.5}
