1. Linear equations with fractions

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Linear equation : A linear equation is an equation where the variable appears only to the first power and not inside products of variables.
  • Common denominator : A common denominator is a shared multiple used to rewrite fractions so they can be added or subtracted easily.
  • Distributive property : The distributive property lets you multiply a number across terms inside parentheses.

Essential Points

  • Clear fractions by multiplying both sides by the least common denominator of all fractional coefficients.
  • When fractions include expressions like (x-10) or (2x+5), distribute before combining like terms.
  • After clearing denominators, collect x-terms on one side and constants on the other side.
  • Solve by isolating x, then check by substituting into the original fractional equation.

Memory Hook

Fractions first: clear denominators, then collect x, then isolate x.
