a To solve the given literal equation for y, we will use the Properties of Equality to apply inverse operations on the equation. Remember, only like terms can be combined.
b To solve the given literal equation for y, we will use the Properties of Equality to apply inverse operations on the equation. Remember, only like terms can be combined.
We have that the absolute value of y-1 is equal to sqrt(x-22). This means that we have two solutions, one positive and one negative.
|y-1|=sqrt(x-2/2) ⇒ lc y-1 ≥ 0:y-1 = sqrt(x-2/2) & (I) y-1 < 0:y-1 = - (sqrt(x-2/2)) & (II)
Now we can fully isolate y.
