Simple Equations
(NCERT Exercise 4.4)
Important Points:
❶ An equation which has only one variable whose power is one is called a SIMPLE EQUATION.
❷ In a simple equation keeping only the variable in the LHS of the equation and moving the constant to RHS (right hand side) is called the method of TRANSPOSITION.
❸ Rules for method of Transposition are:
- A positive constant in the LHS becomes a negative constant when it is taken to the RHS and vice versa.
- A negative constant in the LHS becomes a positive constant when it is taken to the RHS and vice versa.
- The coefficient of the variable in tbe LHS becomes t.he multiplicative inverse when it is taken to the RHS :and vice versa.
