to balance the equation. If you don't do it on the other side then you are dropping it
For instance look at this.
2x=8
Now you have to divide 2 on both sides
2x=8
x=4
Now if you only do it to one side the answer may look like this
x=8 or 2x=4
So when you put your answer back in... it wont be true
Cuz 2(4)=8
8=8
hope that makes sence
What else can I help you with?
What is it called when you add a number to both sides of a math question?
do you mean math equation? If you add a number to both sides of an equation you do not change it. That is called algebra
How do you solve and answer for x?
Solve and answer for X is a phrase used mostly in Algebra. In Algebra, a person can find the answer for X by doing the same thing to both sides of the equation. For example, X + 5 = 10. If a person subtracts the 5 from both sides, they will get the answer of X = 5.
What is the answer to 8z -5 equals 11 in algebra?
8z-5 = 11 add 5 to both sides 8z = 16 divide both sides by 8 z = 2
What are Equivalent Operations?
Math and Arithmetic are the same things because they both go in the catgory of algebra and algebra is in the math catagory
What are the numbers are their own reciprocals?
1 and 0. You can set this up as an algebra problem by realizing that x = 1/x. From there, multiply both sides by x, then take the square root of both sides.
