(Medal & Fan)

Answer 1

What do you do to get from step 2 to step 3?

Answer 2

add 30 to 6?

Answer 3

Okay. What do you call that? That might be a clue to the answer :-)

Answer 4

oh, so it would be addition property of equation?

Answer 5

We have a winner!

Answer 6

I've never heard of these terms,
from what country is this from, because I understand that courses are different depending on what country it is from

Answer 7

United States :)

Answer 8

Elementary Algebra in any English speaking country uses this terminology.

Answer 9

Oh, cool! I'm from Australia, so that makes some sense

Answer 10

Skull, are you sure?

Answer 11

Yes.

Answer 12

In Australia, we don't even use these terms...

Answer 13

Fundamental Properties of Equations:

If P and Q are algebraic expressions, and k is a real number, then each of the following is equivalent to P = Q

Addition: P + k = Q + k
Subtraction: P -k = Q - k
Also, if k not equal to 0, then
Nonzero multiplication: kP = kQ
nonzero division P/k = Q/k

Answer 14

that's out of "Algebra and Trigonometry with Analytic Geometry" by Karl J. Smith.

Answer 15

I would be kind of surprised to hear that another English-speaking country used substantially different terminology for this...

Answer 16

Look up "addition property of equations" in the index of your text, I bet it is in there...

Answer 17

ok, in Australia (either it's because of the school I go to, or the state I live in) but we do not use any terms to decribe this process. It's just all sort of piled under Algebra.

Answer 18

I agree, the vocabulary is very strict; but the Properties of Real Numbers uses this kind of wording.

Answer 19

nah, can't find those words, or any words like that, so I give up...whatever...doesn't matter too much

Answer 20

It only matters if you want to go on and study advanced Algebra. @Chelsea04

Answer 21

right, k...sure
