(x + -0.75) equal to 2.75 and -2.75.

Subproblem 1

x + -0.75 = 2.75 Simplifying x + -0.75 = 2.75 Reorder the terms: -0.75 + x = 2.75 Solving -0.75 + x = 2.75 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 = 2.75 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -0.75 + 0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = 2.75 + 0.75 x = 2.75 + 0.75 Combine like terms: 2.75 + 0.75 = 3.5 x = 3.5 Simplifying x = 3.5

Subproblem 2

x + -0.75 = -2.75 Simplifying x + -0.75 = -2.75 Reorder the terms: -0.75 + x = -2.75 Solving -0.75 + x = -2.75 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 = -2.75 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -0.75 + 0.75 = 0.00 0.00 + x = -2.75 + 0.75 x = -2.75 + 0.75 Combine like terms: -2.75 + 0.75 = -2 x = -2 Simplifying x = -2

Solution

The solution to the problem is based on the solutions from the subproblems. x = {3.5, -2}
