so i forgot how to get the variables on the same side in an equation such as
x = y + 1
help?
impatient much?
can someone help, instead of leaving a rude comment?
Subtract the variable from both sides.
To get the variables on the same side of the equation, you can use algebraic operations to manipulate the equation. In the given example, we have:
x = y + 1
To move the y term to the other side, we can subtract y from both sides of the equation:
x - y = y + 1 - y
This simplifies to:
x - y = 1
Now, the variables x and y are on opposite sides of the equation.
