It means that if you have
a = b
you can add some number (call it c) to both sides like this
a + c = b + c

This property is used (along with others) to solve equations

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
operations that undo each other
ex: addition and subtraction are inverse operations (one undoes the other)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

start with 6 and subtract 4 and you're undoing everything to get back to 2
