Alg .: The act or operation of bringing over any term of any equation from the one side to the other. This is done by changing the sign of the term so transposed. The object of transposition is to bring all the known terms of an equation to one side, and all the unknown to the other, in order to determine the value of the unknown terms with respect to those that are known. Thus if 2 x + 4 = x +7= by transposition of x , 2 x - x +4 = 7, whencex+4= 7; by transposition of 4, x = 7-4, whence x = 3. The transposition of terms is the first operation to be performed in the solution of a simple equation. 2.
