Answer:

To cancel a term, it is necessary to add the opposite of the term to both sides of the equation

Explanation:

Adding opposites creates a sum of zero. Zero added to anything else does not change the its value. So, adding the opposite of a term effectively removes it from (that side of) the equation.
