...negative term can be transposed by changing its sign from — to + . Ifa = Z-7in. then a+7 in. =1. Hence, any term may be transposed from one side of an equation to the other by changing its sign. This may also be explained in another way which is often quite useful. We can imagine that we have... | |

...on one side of the equation and the unknown quantities on the other side. Then collect by addition. Any term may be transposed from one side of an equation to the other by changing its sign from + to — , or from — to + . // a term be found on both sides with the same sign it should be... | |

...equation a = с — b + d, or into the form a — d = с — b, or into the form — d = с — a — b. Any term may be transposed from one side of an equation to the other simply by changing its sign. spending sides are added to one another; thus, a + с — b when added... | |

...equal quantities are equal. If X + m = F, ; then subtracting m from both members, X = F - m. That is, a term may be transposed from one side of an equation to the other provided its sign is changed at the same time. When the members of an equation involve sums or differences... | |

...important application of Principles 1 and 2 is transposition, which has already been mentioned on p. 18. A term may be transposed from one side of an equation to the other side if its sign is changed. Thus, in solving the equation 8 x .- 6 = 5 x + 12, we find, by transposition,... | |
