$f(x)=x^2-1,$ $g(x)=3x+3$ a.$x^2-1=0, x=\pm 1$ b. $3x+3=0, 3x=-3, x=-1$ c.$x^2-1=3x+3,$ $x^2-3x-4=0,$ $x^2+x-4x-4=0,$ $x(x+1)-4(x+1)=0,$ $(x-4)(x+1)=0,$ $x=4$ or $x=-1$ d. $x^2-1\gt 0,$ $x^2\gt 1,$ $x\gt 1$ or $x\lt -1$ e. $3x+3\leq 0,$ $3x\leq -3,$ $x\leq -1$ f. $x^2-1\gt 3x+3,$ $x^2-3x-4\gt 0,$ $(x-4)(x+1)\gt 0,$ $x\gt 4$ or $x\lt -1$ g. $x^2-1\geq 1,$ $x^2\geq 2,$ $x\geq \pm 2$
