1 + y = 1.414213562

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + y = 1.414213562 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + y = 1.414213562 + -1
y = 1.414213562 + -1

Combine like terms: 1.414213562 + -1 = 0.414213562
y = 0.414213562

Simplifying
y = 0.414213562

Subproblem 2
y + 1 = -1.414213562

Simplifying
y + 1 = -1.414213562

Reorder the terms:
1 + y = -1.414213562

Solving
1 + y = -1.414213562

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + y = -1.414213562 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + y = -1.414213562 + -1
y = -1.414213562 + -1

Combine like terms: -1.414213562 + -1 = -2.414213562
y = -2.414213562

Simplifying
