How did you get the first condition??
Why not use functions to solve this one. Let f be a function as f ( x ) = 1 + x
Then the equation becomes f ( − 2 0 1 5 x ) + f ( 2 0 1 5 x ) = f ( x ) 1 + f ( x )
we know that D f = [ − 1 , + ∞ [ But in this case for the equation to be true D f = [ − 2 0 1 5 1 , 2 0 1 5 1 ] And the only possible solution is x = 0 So the sum of the soultions is 0
root(1/1+x) + root(1+x) >= 2 ;
(It implies) root(1+2015x) + root(1-2015x) >= 2 ;
Squaring both sides
1+2015x+1-2015x+2root(1-2015x^2)>=4 ;
root(1-2015x^2)>=1 ;
squaring both sides
Satisfying condition.

Using Cauchy-Schwarz inequality on the LHS:
( 1 − 2 0 1 5 x + 1 + 2 0 1 5 x ) 2 1 − 2 0 1 5 x + 1 + 2 0 1 5 x ≤ ( 1 + 1 ) ( 1 − 2 0 1 5 x + 1 + 2 0 1 5 x ) = 4 ≤ 2 Equality happens when x = 0
Using AM-GM inequality on the RHS (note that RHS ≥ 0 ):
x + 1 1 + 1 + x ≥ 2 x + 1 1 + x = 2 Equality happens when x = 0
We note that the RHS ≤ 2 and LHS ≥ 2 , therefore, there is only a point at x = 0 , where RHS = LHS = 2
