Question
Solve the equation
Solve for x
Solve for g
x=−g+1x=g+1
Evaluate
(1−x)2−g2=0
Move the expression to the right-hand side and change its sign
(1−x)2=0+g2
Add the terms
(1−x)2=g2
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
1−x=±g2
Simplify the root
1−x=±∣g∣
Remove the absolute value bars
1−x=±g
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
1−x=g1−x=−g

Evaluate
1−x=g
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=g−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
x=−g+1
x=−g+11−x=−g
