(x + 1) equal to 2.645751311 and -2.645751311.

Subproblem 1
x + 1 = 2.645751311

Simplifying
x + 1 = 2.645751311

Reorder the terms:
1 + x = 2.645751311

Solving
1 + x = 2.645751311

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + x = 2.645751311 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + x = 2.645751311 + -1
x = 2.645751311 + -1

Combine like terms: 2.645751311 + -1 = 1.645751311
x = 1.645751311

Simplifying
x = 1.645751311

Subproblem 2
x + 1 = -2.645751311

Simplifying
x + 1 = -2.645751311

Reorder the terms:
1 + x = -2.645751311

Solving
1 + x = -2.645751311

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + x = -2.645751311 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + x = -2.645751311 + -1
x = -2.645751311 + -1

Combine like terms: -2.645751311 + -1 = -3.645751311
x = -3.645751311

Simplifying
x = -3.645751311

Solution
