( ( x + 1 1 ) + x ) = 1 1 --------- (i)
x + 1 1 = 1 1 − x
( x + 1 1 ) 2 = ( 1 1 − x ) 2
x + 1 1 = 1 2 1 + x − 2 2 x
( 2 2 1 1 0 ) 2 = ( x ) 2 ⇛ x = 2 5

Take root x to the RHS and square both sides.

lo g 1 7 ( lo g 1 1 ( x + 1 1 + x ) ) lo g 1 1 ( x + 1 1 + x ) x + 1 1 + x x + 1 1 + 2 x 2 + 1 1 x + x 2 x 2 + 1 1 x x 2 + 1 1 x x 2 + 1 1 x 1 2 1 x ⟹ x = 0 = 1 = 1 1 = 1 2 1 = 1 1 0 − 2 x = 5 5 − x = 5 5 2 − 1 1 0 x + x 2 = 5 5 2 = 2 5
Since there is only one value of x satisfying the equation, the sum of solutions is 2 5 .
