The equation x+5=27 is solved below. When we describe the first step we say that we "Subtract 5 from both sides." We do not say "Move 5 to the other side." Why not? Write a detailed THREE SENTENCE answer.

Answer:

If you were to move five to the other side, the equation would have a completely different outcome. Instead of x + 5 = 27 it would be x = 27 + 5. Then the answer would be x=32 rather than x=22. You need to do the inverse of the original equation to get the correct solution. (AKA: balancing the equation)

I hope this helps :))
