(x + -0.75) equal to 2.25 and -2.25.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.75 = 2.25 Simplifying x + -0.75 = 2.25 Reorder the terms: -0.75 + x = 2.25 Solving -0.75 + x = 2.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.75' to each side of the equation. -0.75 + 0.75 + x = 2.25 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -0.75 + 0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 2.25 + 0.75 x = 2.25 + 0.75 Combine like terms: 2.25 + 0.75 = 3 x = 3 Simplifying x = 3

Subproblem 2

x + -0.75 = -2.25 Simplifying x + -0.75 = -2.25 Reorder the terms: -0.75 + x = -2.25 Solving -0.75 + x = -2.25 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '0.75' to each side of the equation. -0.75 + 0.75 + x = -2.25 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -0.75 + 0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -2.25 + 0.75 x = -2.25 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -2.25 + 0.75 = -1.5 x = -1.5 Simplifying x = -1.5

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {3, -1.5}
