The expression on the right side of the "=" sign is the right side of the equation and the expression on the left of the "=" is the left side of the equation. x + 5 is the left-hand side (LHS) and y + 8 is the right-hand side (RHS).
How do you prove LHS and RHS?
Expert Answer:
- While solving questions where we have to prove LHS = RHS, we cannot operate both the sides simulataneously, since that is what we have to prove.
- Example: To prove (a - b)2 =a2 - 2ab + b2
- We first have to either take LHS and prove it equal to the RHS or take the RHS and prove it equal to the LHS.
What is LHS equal to RHS?
An equation has an equal sign (=) between its two sides. The equation says that the value of the left hand side (LHS) is equal to the value of the right hand side (RHS).
