The way you move one variable term to the other side of the equal sign is by using the inverse operations.For example,16j=12-4j we would have to do the inverse operation of subtraction which is addition so you add 4j to 16j and it will give you 20j=12.Then you divide 20j by 12 and it will give you a decimal.The relationship between addition and subtraction is that hey are like brothers and sisters.The saying what you do to one side you do to the other means like if you have addition you do subtraction and if u have subtraction you do addition.It is related to a balance scale because if a balance scale is not even that means the two objects that you have one your scale one of them is heavier than the other that is the same thing as moving variables what ever you do to one side you do to the other.

Hi Dahsani :)
i really enjoyed reading your blog about moving variables. I like how u explained the process of moving variables and i also like how u used examples.
p.s i like your blog desing :)
hey caro,
thanks for the comment and thanks about the blog design :)
