Question

What do we get when we transpose 4 to the RHS in the equation $x+4=10$?

• A. $x=10$
• B. $x=6$
• C. $x=14$
• D. $x=3$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $x=6$

Changing side is called transposing. While transposing a number, we change its sign.
Transposing a number (i.e., changing the side of the number) is the same as performing a mathematical operation on both sides.

In the given equation, $x+4=10$.
$x+4=10$
$⟹$ $x=10-4$ [Transposing 4 to the other side]
$⟹$ $x=6$

Hence, we get $x=6$.
