Sides Of An Equation
In mathematics, LHS is informal shorthand for the left-hand side of an equation. Similarly, RHS is the right-hand side. Each is solely a name for a term as part of an expression; and they are in practice interchangeable, since equality is symmetric. This abbreviation is seldom if ever used in print; it is very informal.
More generally, these terms may apply to an inequation or inequality. In the inequality case, there is no symmetry. The right-hand side is everything on the right side of a test operator in an expression. Conversely, the left-hand side is everything on the left side.
