Subtract from Sides What : Subtract the same expression from the both sides of == Why : Such side-wise subtraction is an essential computation for solving equations Time to Complete : 3 hours eq = (x -3 == 17*y + 9); lhs = eq.left - 9; rhs = eq.right - 9; eq2 = (lhs == rhs); show eq2; save as sides; Output "eq2" → -12 + x == 17*y Output .box { width: 200px; height: 70px; background-color: hsla(89, 43%, 51%, 0.3); border: 2px dotted orange; padding: 10px; margin: 10px; } "lhs" → (-12 + x)/17 "rhs" → y © 2012-Present CCN Studios Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0
