...arising out of the several examples annexed to the :;ix different cases given in the text. CASE I. Any quantity may be transposed from one side of an equation to the other, by changing its sign ; and the two members, or sides, will stilt be equal. Thus, if z+3=7 ; then will a=7— 3, or ar=4.... | |

...(16.) If a quantity be both multiplied and divided by another, its value will not be altered. (17.) Any quantity may be transposed from one side of an equation to the other, by changing its sign : Thus, if x + 9 = 15, and 9 be subtracted from each side, x = 15 — 9, or 6. Also, if x + b = a,... | |

...that if equnls be subtracted from equals, the remainders will be equal. For, to transpose a quantity from one side of an equation to the other, by changing its sign, is nothing more than to subtract the same quantity from each side of it. Thus, in the example, by transposing... | |

...c, then a = с — b ; and if a = с — b, then с = b + a. Whence a term, or any number of terms, may be transposed from one side of an equation to the other, without destroying the equality, by changing the sign of each term so transposed. Again, if 9 + 4 =... | |
