(x + 2.25) equal to 0.25 and -0.25.

Subproblem 1

x + 2.25 = 0.25 Simplifying x + 2.25 = 0.25 Reorder the terms: 2.25 + x = 0.25 Solving 2.25 + x = 0.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.25' to each side of the equation. 2.25 + -2.25 + x = 0.25 + -2.25 Combine like terms: 2.25 + -2.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 0.25 + -2.25 x = 0.25 + -2.25 Combine like terms: 0.25 + -2.25 = -2 x = -2 Simplifying x = -2

Subproblem 2

x + 2.25 = -0.25 Simplifying x + 2.25 = -0.25 Reorder the terms: 2.25 + x = -0.25 Solving 2.25 + x = -0.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.25' to each side of the equation. 2.25 + -2.25 + x = -0.25 + -2.25 Combine like terms: 2.25 + -2.25 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -0.25 + -2.25 x = -0.25 + -2.25 Combine like terms: -0.25 + -2.25 = -2.5 x = -2.5 Simplifying x = -2.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {-2, -2.5}
