Transform (mathematics). Transform (mathematics), to change the form of a mathematical expression in keeping with a mathematical rule, especially by substituting variables or by changing coordinates. It is often necessary to transform equations for the equations to be solved. For instance, given the two equations x + y = 6 and x = 2y, the first equation can be transformed into 2y + y = 6 by substituting 2y for x. The equation 2y + y = 6 only contains one variable and thus can be solved: adding the y terms together yields 3y = 6, and dividing the terms on each side of the equals sign by 3 gives y = 2.
