+--- Thread: When canceling X and it's a positive does it become a negative for example (/showthread.php?tid=353)
When canceling X and it's a positive does it become a negative for example - LightSingularity - 11-20-2021
Y+6x=5 Does the six become negative on the other side Y=-6x-5
Or does it become Y=6x-5
Could someone explain how this work properly so I could understand it.

Yes, six becomes negative since you are moving it across to the other side.
