Topic

Equations

Description

Equivalent Equations result from changing an equation while maintaining equality, often by performing the same operation on both sides. For example, x - 3 = 5 becomes x = 8 after adding 3 to both sides. This term demonstrates how equations can be manipulated without altering their solution, a key concept in solving equations.
