Lynch swap

a strategy in algebra in which if x/y=z, then y and z can be quickly "swapped" so that x/z=y. Very helpful for quickly solving for a variable.

Named after Mr. Lynch, a Floridian calculus teacher.

Student θ: Ugh... solving 3/x=4 for x is going to take me like a bajillion steps.
Mr. Lynch: lol just Lynch swap 4 and the denominator x.
