Answer:

The equal sign is generally placed at the separation between the left hand side and the right hand side

Explanation:

Basically a typical equation has two parts, and one part is seen to be equal to the other part, and they are:

1. The left hand side

2. The right hand side

Generally equations are expressed algebraically,that is using letters/ alphabets and symbols to express mathematical relations

The left hand side mostly is the solution of the equation, while the right hand side contains symbols, alphabets used to find solution to the equation.
