Transposing: Transposing means moving to the other side. When you transpose a number from one side of the equation to the other side, you change its sign.
Notes
Methods of Solving an Equation:
Method 1:
- We carry out a series of identical mathematical operations such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing on the two sides of the equation in such a way that on one of the sides we get just the variable.
- The last step is the solution of the equation.
- We carry out a series of identical mathematical operations such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing on the two sides of the equation in such a way that on one of the sides we get just the variable.
- The last step is the solution of the equation.
Example,
`x/5 + 7 = - 3`
`x/5 + 7 – 7 = - 3 – 7`
`x/5 = - 10`
`x/5(5) = - 10(5)`
x = 50.
Method 2:
- Transposing means moving to the other side. Transposition of a number has the same effect as adding the same number to (or subtracting the same number from) both sides of the equation.
- When you transpose a number from one side of the equation to the other side, you change its sign.
- We can carry out the transposition of an expression in the same way as the transposition of a number.
For example,
5x + 12 = 27
Transposing + 12.........(On transposing + 12 becomes – 12)
5x = 27 – 12
5x = 15
x = 3.
Example
Solve: 4(m + 3) = 18
Let us divide both sides by 4.
m + 3 = `18/4`
m + 3 = `9/2`
m = `9/2 – 3`..............(transposing 3 to RHS)
m = `3/2`.
Example
Solve: – 2(x + 3) = 8.
– 2(x + 3) = 8
We divide both sides by (– 2), so as to remove the brackets in the LHS, we get,
x + 3 = `8/(- 2)`
x + 3 = – 4
x = – 4 – 3...........(transposing 3 to RHS)
x = – 7..................(required solution)
