Solving Linear Equations Part 7
In this lesson on solving linear equations, the focus is on using the multiplication property of equality and clearing denominators when fractions are involved. The instructor demonstrates two methods for solving equations and emphasizes that multiplying by the least common denominator can be especially useful when there are two or more fractions. Through examples and step-by-step instructions, the lesson helps students build problem-solving skills and gain confidence in their ability to tackle challenging math problems.

Staff Review
This lesson has more example problems of solving equations using properties of equality. Slightly more complicated example problems that include fractions are shown, multiple methods are used, and all steps are explained very well.
