Moving Variable

Moving one variable term to the other side of the equal sign you have to do the same thing you do one side of the equal sign to the other side. if we had the problem 16j=12-4j we would add 4j on both sides of the equal sign.Like this 16j+4j=12-4j+4j and then you would have 20j=12. The relationship between subtraction and addition is that they are inverse operation. What we do on one side of the equal sign you have to do on the other side so that you can keep your scale balance.
