ANSWER :
1.) x = -2
2.) a = 10
SOLUTION :
1.) x + 2
- Add Equal to 0 in order.
x + 2 = 0
- Move constant to the right by adding its opposite to both sides.
x + 2 - 2 = 0 - 2
- Note : since two opposites add up to zero, remove them from the expression.
x = 0 - 2
- Note : when adding or subtracting 0, the quantity does not change.
x = - 2
2.) a - 1 = 9
- Move constant to the right-hand side and change its sign.
a = 9 + 1
a = 10
