Multi-Step Equations with Fractions
In this lesson, the instructor shows how to solve multi-step equations with fractional coefficients. The first step is to simplify both sides of the equation, and the instructor recommends getting rid of the fractions by multiplying both sides by the least common denominator. Then, the next step is to combine like terms and get the variable on one side. It's important to use the properties of equality to ensure that the equation stays balanced. The lesson concludes with an example where there is no solution to the equation, and the instructor explains why this is the case.
How to solve multi step equations with fractional coefficients
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
