Solving equations with fractions quiz part 1. Help please?
someone give answers pleaseeee
If you mean
(3/4) x = 6 then multiply both sides by 4
3 x = 24 now divide both sides by 3
x = 8
or
If you mean
3 / (4x) = 6 then multiply both sides by 4 x
3 = 24 x
x = 1/8
careful with parentheses :)
Of course! I'd be happy to help you with solving equations that involve fractions. Before we get started, it's important to understand the basic rules for working with fractions:
1. To add or subtract fractions, they need to have the same denominator. If they don't, you'll need to find a common denominator before proceeding.
2. To multiply fractions, simply multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
3. To divide fractions, multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction. The reciprocal is found by swapping the numerator and denominator of the second fraction.
Now, let's move on to solving equations with fractions. The general steps are as follows:
1. Clear the equation of any parentheses by using the distributive property, if necessary.
2. Combine like terms on both sides of the equation.
3. Use the rules of fractions to manipulate the equation, if needed, to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
4. Simplify both sides of the equation, if possible.
5. Solve for the variable by applying inverse operations in the proper order.
6. Check your solution by substituting it back into the original equation.
If you have a specific equation you would like me to explain, please provide it and I'll be happy to guide you through the steps to solve it.
1. Solve for x: 3/4x = 6
Answer: x = 8
