Solving an Equation with Fractions
In this lesson, we learn how to solve linear equations that involve fractions. The key takeaway is that we can get rid of fractions by multiplying every term by the denominator. This shortcut allows us to avoid dealing with fractions and instead solve the problem without them. By practicing this method, we can better understand the inverse operations and become more comfortable with using them in more complex equations.

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.
