Question

When we transpose a number from one ____________ of the equation to the other side, we change its sign.

Answer 1

The meaning of transposing a number is to change its sign means a positive sign becomes negative and a negative sign becomes positive.

So, whenever we make a shift from one side of the equation to another side we are actually doing a transformation.

eg. $x+5=0$ is the same as $x=-5$

Hence, When we transpose a number from one side of the equation to the other side, we change its sign
