Solving an Equation with Fractions and Variable on Both Sides
In this lesson, the instructor teaches how to solve an equation with fractions and a variable on both sides. The first step is to get rid of all the fractions by multiplying each term by the least common multiple of its denominators. After that, the goal is to isolate the variable by getting all the x's on one side of the equation. Finally, the instructor solves for x, making sure to get rid of any negative signs in the process.
Solving an equation with fraction where your variable is on both sides
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.
