The shifting of a number from one side of an equation to other is called
(a) Transposition
(b) Distributivity
(c) Commutativity
(d) Associativity
Solution:
The shifting of a number from one side of an equation to other is called _____.
We have to find the exact term that suits the above definition.
The common transposition method is to do something mathematically to both sides of the equation, with the aim of bringing like terms together and isolating the variable.
Example : considering the equation x - b = 0
By transposition, x = b
Therefore, shifting one term from one side of an equation to another side with a change of sign is known as transposition.
✦ Try This: If x + 35 = 3x + 5, then x is
(a) a fraction
(b) an integer
(c) a rational number
(d) cannot be solved
