Re: How to transform a functional expression into a general expression

Show all headers | View raw

I see NO reason to call one of those equations more "general" than the  
other, but this may do what you want (sometimes):

y == 3/2 x + 1 // Simplify
Subtract @@ % == 0

2 + 3 x == 2 y

2 + 3 x - 2 y == 0
