Solution

A term of an equation can be transposed to the other side by changing its sign.
For example,
$2 x + 5 = 9$ is a linear equation having a single variable in it.
On transporting $5$ from LHS to RHS we get $- 5$ in other RHS
So we have , $2 x = 9 - 5$
$\Rightarrow 2 x = 4 \Rightarrow x = 2$
Hence, the required answer is sign .
