Original question and givens

Over Q, L=(1)x+(-4), R=(-1)x+(5), x=4/2, common added quantity e=0. Give (original L−R, L+e, R+e, shifted difference, are the shifted sides equal?). Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.

  • G001 — Over Q, L=(1)x+(-4), R=(-1)x+(5), x=4/2, common added quantity e=0. Give (original L−R, L+e, R+e, shifted difference, are the shifted sides equal?). Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

common rational domain with original equation definitions

After

evaluate/classify the given model without enlarging its original domain

Conditions: none

Original definedness precedes substitution and transformations.Check the declared model,not arbitrary equation solving inferred from cross multiplication or one-point values.

Rule: original_rational_equation_scope · Uses: G001

S002 · calculation

Before

original left numerator linear product := mul(1, 2)

After

original left numerator linear product = 2

Conditions: none

Substitute the specified x into this side's coefficient product.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S001

S003 · calculation

Before

original left numerator affine value := sum(2, -4)

After

original left numerator affine value = -2

Conditions: none

Then add this side's own constant,not the other side's.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S002

S004 · calculation

Before

original right linear product := mul(-1, 2)

After

original right linear product = -2

Conditions: none

Substitute the specified x into this side's coefficient product.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S003

S005 · calculation

Before

original right affine value := sum(-2, 5)

After

original right affine value = 3

Conditions: none

Then add this side's own constant,not the other side's.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S004

S006 · calculation

Before

original L−R := sub(-2, 3)

After

original L−R = -5

Conditions: none

Record the original difference of the two sides first.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S005

S007 · calculation

Before

left plus common e := sum(-2, 0)

After

left plus common e = -2

Conditions: none

Add the same defined rational e to the left.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S006

S008 · calculation

Before

right plus common e := sum(3, 0)

After

right plus common e = 3

Conditions: none

Add the identical e to the right,not another constant.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S007

S009 · calculation

Before

shifted two-side residual := sub(-2, 3)

After

shifted two-side residual = -5

Conditions: none

Subtracting cancels the two copies of e and must recover the original difference.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: exact_rational_arithmetic · Uses: G001, S008

S010 · implies

Before

original difference=-5;shifted difference=-5

After

shifted equality=No

Conditions: none

Adding e to both sides is reversed by subtracting e from both sides,so it preserves equality on the common defined rational domain.

Step identifiers and dependencies

Rule: common_shift_reversible_equality · Uses: G001, S009

Reverse checks

  • S010 · premise_and_result_audit — Subtract the same e from both sides to recover the original equation without enlarging its domain.
  • S009 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute shifted two-side residual with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S008 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute right plus common e with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S007 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute left plus common e with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute original L−R with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute original right affine value with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute original right linear product with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute original left numerator affine value with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute original left numerator linear product with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
  • S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(-5/1, -2/1, 3/1, -5/1, No)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
