There we discussed about Solving Simple Equations.
That knowledge is a prerequisite here.
Transposition in Linear Equations
If you look at the solution of Example 1 of Linear Equations above, the solution of x - 5 = 10 is x = 10 + 5. i.e. -5 present on the L.H.S. is taken to the R.H.S. as +5.
Similarly, in Example 2 of Linear Equations above, the solution of x + 9 = 4 is x = 4 - 9. i.e. +9 present on the L.H.S. is taken to the R.H.S. as -9.
In Example 3 of Linear Equations above, the solution of p⁄3 = 5 is p = 5 x 3. i.e. 3 dividing the L.H.S. is taken to the R.H.S. as 3 multiplying.
Similarly, In Example 4 above, the solution of 5y = -20 is y = -20⁄5. i.e. 5 multiplying the L.H.S. is taken to the R.H.S. as 5 dividing.
These ideas can be generalised.
Any term of an equation may be moved (transposed) to the other sidewith the sign changed.
Any non zero quantity multiplying a side may be moved (transposed) to the other side with the quantity dividing the other side. Any non zero quantity dividing a side may be moved (transposed) to the other side with the quantity multiplying the other side.
Changing a term or quantity from one side of an equation to the other side is called transposition.
Example 1 of Easy Algebra
Solve the Equation x + 9 = 9.
Solution: The given equation is x + 9 = 9. Transposing +9 from the L.H.S. to the R.H.S., we get x = 9 - 9 = 0. From this it is clear that
If the same term (same both in magnitude and sign) is present on both sides of an equation, then it can be cancelled.
Example 2 of Easy Algebra
Solve the Equation 3x + 12 = 9.
Solution: The given equation is 3x + 12 = 9. Transposing +12 from the L.H.S. to the R.H.S., we get 3x = 9 - 12 = -3. Transposing 3 which is multiplying the L.H.S. to the R.H.S., we get x = -3⁄3 = -1. Ans.
Example 3 of Easy Algebra
Solve the Equation 4p + 12 = 36 - 2p.Solution to Example 3 of Easy Algebra : The given equation is 4p + 12 = 36 - 2p. Transposing -2p from the R.H.S. to the L.H.S., and 12 from the L.H.S. to the R.H.S., we get 4p + 2p = 36 - 12 ⇒ 6p = 24. Transposing 6 which is multiplying the L.H.S. to the R.H.S., we get p = 24⁄6 = 4. Ans.
The method we adopted here in solving may be summarised as follows.
To solve a simple equation, the terms containing unknown quantity (variable) should be collected on the L.H.S. of the equation and constants on the other side. Then the coefficientof the variable should be reduced to unity.

Here is a collection of proven tips, tools and techniques to turn you into a super-achiever - even if you've never thought of yourself as a "gifted" student.
The secrets will help you absorb, digest and remember large chunks of information quickly and easily so you get the best grades with the least amount of effort.
If you apply what you read from the above collection, you can achieve best grades without giving up your fun, such as TV, surfing the net, playing video games or going out with friends!
Solution to Example 4 of Easy Algebra : The given equation is 9y + 5 = 15y - 1 Transposing 15y from the R.H.S. to the L.H.S., and 5 from the L.H.S. to the R.H.S., we get 9y - 15y = -1 - 5 ⇒ -6y = -6. Transposing -6 which is multiplying the L.H.S. to the R.H.S., we get p = -6⁄-6 = 1. Ans.

Progressive Learning of Math : Easy Algebra
Recently, I have found a series of math curricula (Both Hard Copy and Digital Copy) developed by a Lady Teacher who taught everyone from Pre-K students to doctoral students and who is a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education.
This series is very different and advantageous over many of the traditional books available. These give students tools that other books do not. Other books just give practice. These teach students “tricks” and new ways to think.
These build a student’s new knowledge of concepts from their existing knowledge. These provide many pages of practice that gradually increases in difficulty and provide constant review.
These also provide teachers and parents with lessons on how to work with the child on the concepts.
The series is low to reasonably priced and include
Are you spending lot of money for math tutors to your child and still not satisfied with his/her grades ?
Do you feel that more time from the tutor and more personalized Math Help to identify and fix the problems faced by your child will help ?
Here is a fool proof solution I strongly recommend and that too With a minuscule fraction of the amount you spent on tutors with unconditional 100% money back Guarantee, if you are not satisfied.
It is like having an unlimited time from an excellent Tutor.
It is an Internet-based math tutoring software program that identifies exactly where your child needs help and then creates a personal instruction plan tailored to your child’s specific needs.
If your child can use a computer and access the Internet, he or she can use the program. And your child can access the program anytime from any computer with Internet access.
There is an exclusive, Parent Information Page provides YOU with detailed reports of your child’s progress so you can monitor your child’s success and give them encouragement. These Reports include
Time spent using the program
Assessment results
Personalized remediation curriculum designed for your child
Details the areas of weakness where your child needs additional help
Provides the REASONS WHY your child missed a concept
List of modules accessed and amount of time spent in each module
Quiz results
Creates reports that can be printed and used to discuss issues with your child’s teachers
These reports are created and stored in a secure section of the program, available exclusively to you, the parent. The section is accessed by a password that YOU create and use. No unauthorized users can access this information.
Its research-based results have proven that it really works for all students! in improving math skills and a TWO LETTER GRADE INCREASE in math test scores!,if they invest time in using the program.
Proven for More than 10,000 U.S. public school students who increased their math scores.
