Solving Linear Equations - Fractions
Solving Linear Equations - Fractions Objective: Solve Linear Equations with rational coefficients by multi- plying by the least common denominator to clear the Fractions . Often when Solving Linear Equations we will need to work with an equation with fraction coefficients. We can solve these problems as we have in the past. This is demonstrated in our next example. Example 1. 3 7 5. x = Focus on subtraction 4 2 6. 7 7 7. + + Add to both sides 2 2 2. 5 7. Notice we will need to get a common denominator to add+ 2 . Notice we have a 6.. 7 3 21. common denominator of 6. So we build up the denominator, 2 3 = 6 , and we can now add the Fractions : 3 21 5. x = Same problem, with common denominator 6. 4 6 6. 21 21 21. + + Add to both sides 6 6 6. 3 26 26 13. x= Reduce to 4 6 6 3. 3 13 3. x= Focus on multiplication by 4 3 4. 3 3. We can get rid of 4 by dividing both sides by 4 . dividing by a fraction is the 4.
Dividing by a fraction is the ... We can easily clear the fractions by finding the LCD and multiplying each term by the LCD. This is shown in the next example, the same problem as our first example, but this time we will solve by clearing fractions. 1. Example 2. 3 4 x − ...
