Module 12: Background You’ll Need 4

Rearrange equations and inequalities to highlight a variable of interest.

Consider the equation [latex]a=b[/latex].You can rewrite this equation in an equivalent form that has [latex]0[/latex] on the right side by subtracting [latex]b[/latex] from both sides, as follows:

[latex]a=b[/latex]

[latex]a-b = b-b[/latex]

[latex]a-b=0[/latex]
