Abstract: | This paper is the first part (out of two) of the fifth paper in a sequence on the structure of sets of solutions to systems
of equations in a free group, projections of such sets, and the structure of elementary sets defined over a free group. In
the two papers on quantifier elimination we use the iterative procedure that validates the correctness of anAE sentence defined over a free group, presented in the fourth paper, to show that the Boolean algebra ofAE sets defined over a free group is invariant under projections, and hence show that every elementary set defined over a free
group is in the Boolean algebra ofAE sets. The procedures we use for quantifier elimination, presented in this paper and its successor, enable us to answer affirmatively
some of Tarski's questions on the elementary theory of a free group in the sixth paper of this sequence.
