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

∙ 14y agodo you mean math equation? If you add a number to both sides of an equation you do not change it. That is called algebra
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.
8z-5 = 11 add 5 to both sides 8z = 16 divide both sides by 8 z = 2
Math and Arithmetic are the same things because they both go in the catgory of algebra and algebra is in the math catagory
7n-36=34 Add 36 to both sides: 7n=70 divide both sides by 7: n=10
Because your multiping the inverse to both sides

3x + 8 = -31 Subtract 8 from both sides: 3x = -39 Divide both sides by 3: x = -13
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.
7n-36=34 Add 36 to both sides: 7n=70 divide both sides by 7: n=10
Something like this? 4/x=1? You multiple the x on both sides. x=4
in algebra, if what you do to one side of the equation you do to the other side you do not change things and you can solve for the unknown 2n-5 = 7 add 5 to BOTH sides 2n-5 + 5 = 7 + 5 2n = 12 Divide BOTH sides by 2 n = 6
Algebra 1 is the first year of math in high school. You will learn many things, such as problems that involve you finding out what X=. A problem you will see in class usually looks like this: Find X: 3X+2=8 To do this, you would start by subtracting 2 from both sides 3X+2=8 -2 -2 3X=6 Then you would divide both sides by 3 3X=6 _____ 3 3 And your answer would be.... X=2 See, isn't algebra fun?
There are many uses of algebra. Algebra is used mosty to find the value of the variable in a mathematic situation. Example- 3x=66 (divide by 3x on both sides)= 66/ by 3 is 22 solution- x=22 ----
