Question

When writting a equation how do you know where to put the equal sign?

Answer 1

The dividing point between the sides is the equal sign. Standard equations are in the form of operations equal an answer (e.g., 2 + 4 = ___; 2 + 4 = 6; 2 + 2 + 2 = 6). As the equation is read left to right, the equal sign is always in the second-to-last position, and the answer is after the equal sign.
