Question

WHY must the same operation be performed on both sides of an equation? ​

Answer 1

Answer:When you are given a problem, the two sides are equal, so they are equally weighted. As long as you do the same thing on both sides, they remain the same weight. The only way that one side can become "more weight" on a side is if you make a math mistake, and thus the answer would not satisfy the original equation
