Solutions: Solve equations with fractions
- These are the solutions to challenge worksheet number eight, which is solving equations with fractions. Check your answers and if any of your answers don't match mine continuing watching this video and I will walk you step by step through every single problem. Our equation for letter A is, in this equation notice that you have fractions and those fractions both have the same denominator, they both have a denominator of 5. That means that we can multiple all terms by 5 in order to eliminate the fractions. So I'm going to multiple both sides by 5. And again, if you'd like to rewrite this so that you can write the 5 in front of each fraction I think that's a great idea. So I'll leave a little space right in front of 4/5. And then I will show that I'm multiplying each fraction by 5. So in the first term 5s simplify to 1 and I'm left with 2x + again, my 5s simplify to 1 and I'm left with 4, = 10 times 5, which is 50. So now my two step equation is 2x + 4 = 50. I'm going to continue…
