Subproblem 1

x + 2.75 = 1.25 Simplifying x + 2.75 = 1.25 Reorder the terms: 2.75 + x = 1.25 Solving 2.75 + x = 1.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.75' to each side of the equation. 2.75 + -2.75 + x = 1.25 + -2.75 Combine like terms: 2.75 + -2.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 1.25 + -2.75 x = 1.25 + -2.75 Combine like terms: 1.25 + -2.75 = -1.5 x = -1.5 Simplifying x = -1.5

Subproblem 2

x + 2.75 = -1.25 Simplifying x + 2.75 = -1.25 Reorder the terms: 2.75 + x = -1.25 Solving 2.75 + x = -1.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2.75' to each side of the equation. 2.75 + -2.75 + x = -1.25 + -2.75 Combine like terms: 2.75 + -2.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -1.25 + -2.75 x = -1.25 + -2.75 Combine like terms: -1.25 + -2.75 = -4 x = -4 Simplifying x = -4

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {-1.5, -4}
