AddSides

AddSides[rel,x]

adds x to each side of the equation or inequality rel.

AddSides[rel1,rel2]

adds the corresponding sides of two equations or inequalities.

Details

  • The relations rel can have any of the following forms:
  • lhs==rhsequations
    lhs!=rhsinequations
    lhs>rhs or lhs>=rhs inequalities
    ab>cgeneralized inequalities
