Question:
The shifting of a number from one side of an equation to other is called
(a) transposition
(b) distributivity
(c) commutativity
(d) associativity
Solution:
(a) The shifting of a number from one side of an equation to other side is called transposition.
e.g. x +a = 0is the equation, x = -a
Here, number ‘a’ shifts from left hand side to right hand side.
