The question of moving term of linear equation with one variable My question is relatively simple. Let's take an example: why does 5x + 2 = 7x-3 have an expression of 5x + 7x = - 3-2 after moving the term? My question is mainly made up of - 3 + or - a certain number after moving the 7x-3. The example doesn't need to be answered, just explain the problem

It's equivalent to adding or subtracting one thing on both sides of the equation. Take your example, 5x + 2 = 7x-3, adding 3 on both sides at the same time, the equation becomes 5x + 2 + 3 = 7x-3 + 3, and the equation is equal to 5x + 5 = 7x. It's the same for unknowns, adding or subtracting to cancel out part. Yes, only one side of the equation exists in the unknowns, which is easier to solve and not easy to make mistakes

How to shift the term of linear equation with one variable?
For example: 16x-40 = 9x + 16
Transfer: 9x-16x = 16 + 40 is 9x-16 instead of 16-9x?

For example: 16x-40 = 9x + 16
Transfer: 9x-16x = 16 + 40
The above is the error process!
Correct result of item transfer:
16x-9x=40+16,
Your idea is right!
