Quoting from the man pages of 'chmod', its syntax is chmod [options] [mode] file(s)/folder(s) Here in the command you tried +x is also an usage of the mode and 755 too is. Since you have given +x first, it will try to apply +x permissions to whatever file(s)/folder(s) that follow and it finds 755 and hence the error. Thank you.
