Yes, they remain the same
===alternate answer===
Did you mean to ask if both sides will still be equal to each other, then yes.
If you meant to ask if bot sides would still have the same value they had originally, the answer is no.
Example: Original equation: 4 = 8/2
Adding 3 to each side: 4 + 3 = 8/2 +3
They are both still equal to each other. But in the original equation each side was equal to 4, and in the derived equation both sides equalled 7.

Why can you multiply or divide both sides of an equation by the same number and still have the equation be true?
It was an equation to start with. That is, both sides were equal. So, if you do the same thing to each side they will still be equal. You can also add or subtract the same number from each side and they will be equal. As long as you treat both sides the same they will remain the alike -- that is, they will remain equal.
When solving inequalities using multiplication explain the difference between multiplying each side of the equation by a positive number and multiplying each side of the equation by a negative number?
When you multiply both sides by a negative number the inequality must be flipped over. You do not do that when multiplying by a positive number.
How do you shift the graph of a equation some number of the units to the you add that number to each x in the equation?
Subtract that number from. Your welcome dumb
Which number could be multiplied by each side of the equation to produce the equivalent equation x15?
1/3
What are the steps to solving a radical equation?
Details may vary depending on the equation. Quite often, you have to square both sides of the equation, to get rid of the radical sign. It may be necessary to rearrange the equation before doing this, after doing this, or both. Squaring both sides of the equation may introduce "extraneous" roots (solutions), that is, solutions that are not part of the original equation, so you have to check each solution of the second equation, to see whether it is also a solution of the first equation.

What is addition property of equality?
adding the same number to each side of an equation, while two sides remain equal
If you subtract the same number from each side of an equation the two sides remain equal?
Yes, that is correct. That is the beuty of algebr a- whatever you do to one side of the equation you do to the other and the sides remain equal. The word algebra comes form the Arabic "al jabr" which means, roughly, "what I do to one side I do to the other"
What is a chemical equation that shows the same number of each kind of atom on both sides of the equation called?
Balanced
What determines if a chemical equation is balanced?
If the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation, then it is balanced.
What is a chemical equation that shows the same number of each kind of atom on both sides of a chemical equation called?
Balanced
When a chemical equation contains the same number of atoms on both sides the equation is balanced.?
if you mean the same number of each type of atom, yes.
An equation is balanced when .?
the number and type of atoms of reactant and product are the same
When a chemical equation contains the same number of atoms on both sides is the equation balanced?
From each side the number of atoms of each element must be the same.
What are both sides of an equation equal to?
In Chemistry, this is the known as the Law of Conservation of Matter. While the moles of individual substances may change, the number of atoms of reactants is the same as the number of atoms of products.
If the number of sides of a regular polygon doubles what happens to the measure of each exterior angle?
They remain the same.
When a chemical equation contains the same numbers of atoms on both sides the equation is balanced?
if you mean the same number of each type of atom, yes.
