Equation Isolation
1. Let's clarify your question: it seems you are asking about when to move numbers to the other side of an equation.
2. In algebra, to isolate a variable, we often move terms (including numbers) from one side of the equation to the other using inverse operations.
3. For example, if you have the equation $x + 1 = 5$, you subtract 1 from both sides to get $x = 5 - 1$.
4. This results in $x = 4$, effectively moving the number 1 from the left to the right side but changing its sign.
5. So, "putting all numbers like 1 on the other side" means balancing the equation by performing inverse operations, not just moving numbers without changing signs.
6. Always perform the same operation on both sides to keep the equation equal.
