1. Give first the step you will use to separate the variables, and then solve the equation:
(a) x – 1 = 0
(b) x + 1 = 0
(c) x – 1 = 5
(d) x + 6 = 2
(e) y - 4 = -7
(f) y – 4 = 4
(g) y + 4 = 4
(h) y + 4 = -4
(a) Add 1 to both sides, and we have:
(b) Transposing 1 to the RHS, we have:
(c) Transposing - 1 to the RHS, we have:
(d) Transposing 6 to the RHS, we get:
(e) Transposing - 4 to the RHS, we have:
(f) Transposing 4 to the RHS, we get:
(g) Transposing 4 to the RHS, we get:
(h) Transposing 4 to the RHS, we get :
