Page 83 - Multiply the numerators together for a new numerator, and the denominators together for a new denominator.
Page 238 - If any number of quantities are proportional, any antecedent is to its consequent as the sum of all the antecedents is to the sum of all the consequents. Let a : b = c : d = e :f Now ab = ab (1) and by Theorem I.
Page 10 - X. is read into, or multiplied by. It denotes that the quantities between which it is placed, are to be multiplied together.
Page 43 - Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor, and write the result as the first term of the quotient. Multiply the whole divisor by the first term of the quotient, and subtract the product from the dividend.

Page 92 - To solve an equation, is to find the value of the unknown quantity ; or, to find a number, which being substituted for the unknown quantity, will render the two members identical.
Page 90 - Every equation is composed of two parts, separated from each other by the sign of equality. The First Member of an equation is the quantity on the left of the sign of equality. The Second Member is the quantity on the right of the sign of equality. Each member is composed of one or more terms. 147.
