You first find a common denominator. The least common denominator is preferable but not essential. Multiply each term in the equation by this common denominator. The equation now has no fractions, only variables on both sides. If the resulting equation is linear, quadratic, cubic or exponential then there are relatively simple ways of solving them. There may be an analytical method for solving polynomials of higher order or other equations. However, whether or not there is a method will depend on the precise nature of the equation.

Translate this word problem as a system of equations and then solve using substitution?
A system of equations is two or more equations that share at least one variable. Once you have determined your equations, solve for one of the variables and substitute in that solution to the other equation.
How do you solve x plus 9y equals 9?
To solve for 2 unknown variables you need 2 independent equations. You have only 1.
What is the answer to x plus y equals 10?
To solve for 2 unknown variables you need 2 independent equations. You have only 1.
What is the answer to d equals 3m?
There is not sufficient information to answer the question. To solve for two unknown variables (d and m) you need two independent equations.
What is -x - 2y plus 4z equals 8?
To solve for 3 unknown variables you need 3 independent equations. You have only 1.
How can you use proportions to solve equations with variables on both sides?
A calculator can be used to proportions to answer a equation. This is easier to solve when having variables on both sides.
How do you solve two-step equations with fractions on one side?
Assuming you want to get rid of the fractions, you can multiply both sides of the equations by the greatest common factor of the fractions. Then you can solve the equation normally.
How do you solve equations with fraction?
You solve equations with fractions the same way you solve other equations. You perform various arithmetic operations on both sides of the equals sign until you get the result you want.
How do you solve radical equations with variables on both sides?
First, get the radical by itself. Then, square both sides of the equation. Then just solve the rest.
How do you solve multivariable equations?
You need as many equations as you have variables.
How do you solve fractions?
You cannot solve fractions. There may be sums or products containing fractions or equations that can be solved. But fractions themselves cannot.
How do you solve two-step equations with fractions?
Equations can be tricky, and solving two step equations is an important step beyond solving equations in one step. Solving two-step equations will help introduce students to solving equations in multiple steps, a skill necessary in Algebra I and II. To solve these types of equations, we use additive and multiplicative inverses to isolate and solve for the variable. Solving Two Step Equations Involving Fractions This video explains how to solve two step equations involving fractions.
Do you solve equations any differently if they contain fractions?
Not necessarily, but often it is simpler to convert fractions into decimals to solve the equation.
How do you solve 3 dimensional equations?
You can solve the system of equations with three variables using the substitute method, or using matrix operations.
How doI solve system of equations by substitution?
Assuming the simplest case of two equations in two variable: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Substitute the value found for the variable in all places in which the variable appears in the second equation. Solve the resulting equation. This will give you the value of one of the variables. Finally, replace this value in one of the original equations, and solve, to find the other variable.
How do you solve multistep equations with fractions?
The only possible method is: One step at a time.
How do you solve an equation with two variables?
By substitution or elimination of one of the variables which usually involves simultaneous or straight line equations.
