 TRANSPOSITION is the changing of terms from one member of an equation to the other, without destroying the equality. The object of transposition is to bring all the unknown terms into one member and all the known into the other, BO that the unknown may...

...first of the above principles it follows that by changing the sign of any quantity it may be transposed from one member of an equation to the other, without destroying the equality. Thus, in the equation 4 x — 20 = 3 x + 56, the addition of 20 to both members gives 4 x = Зa: +... | |
