Solving Multi-Step Equation with Fractions
This lesson teaches how to solve multi-step equations with fractions and variables on both sides. The instructor demonstrates two methods: one involves subtracting fractions and finding a common denominator, while the other involves multiplying everything by the least common multiple of all denominators to eliminate fractions altogether. Both methods yield the same result and the final answer is obtained by solving for the variable. Students are encouraged to practice both methods to become comfortable with solving equations involving fractions.
Solving a multi-step equation with fractions and variable 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.
