Responses

x + 1 = 1/2
x plus 1 equals Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction

x − 1 = −1/2
x minus 1 equals negative Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction

x − 1/2 = 1
x minus Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction equals 1

x + 1/2 = −1

Answer 1

No
if x = -1/2
-1/2 + 1 = 1/2
so
x + 1 = 1/2

Answer 2

x plus Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction equals negative 1

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. You are correct. The equation x + 1 = 1/2 has a solution of -1/2.
