Solution

The correct option is B
transposition

The process of moving a term from one side of the equation to the other side is called transposing. It is the same as adding and subtracting a number from both sides of the equation.
$E x a m p l e : S o l v e 5 x + 9 = 19 T r a n s p o \sin g 9 t o t h e o t h e r s i d e w e g e t, 5 x = 19 - 9 5 x = 10 T r a n s p o \sin g 5 t o t h e o t h e r s i d e w e g e t, x = 10 / 5 x = 2$
Hence, the correct answer is option B Transportation.
