Answer:

1 unit left

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the kind of transformation applied

From the given equations, we can see that the value 1 being added to 1 in the second equation is the difference

What this mean is that we have an issue with the x value

For x to move to x + 1, there is a translation to the tune of 1 unit in the left direction
