Multiply the whole equation by the lowest common denominator. ie. multiply each number by the lowest factor that goes into all of the denominators. Example: if you have y/2 = 3x/4 + 16/6 -> the lowest common denominator is 12, because 12 is the lowest number that will clear all the fractions, so:
12 (y/2 = 3x/4 + 16/6)
6y = 9x + 32 -> of course, if you want to graph this linear equation, you need to solve for y, so you would have to divide the whole equation by 6.
(6y = 9x + 32)/6
y = 9x/6 + 32/6 -> simplify the fractions
y = 3x/2 + 16/3 -> this is your equation for y.

How do you clear fractions?
I am not entirely sure what you mean with "clear". But if you want to get rid of fractions in an equation, you can multiply both sides of the equation by the least common multiple of the fractions. For example, take the equation: (1/2)x + 3 = (1/5)x If you multiply both sides by 10, you get: 5x + 30 = 2x
Is a linear equation the same as a function?
No a linear equation are not the same as a linear function. The linear function is written as Ax+By=C. The linear equation is f{x}=m+b.
What are the zeros of a linear equation?
A linear equation can have only one zero and that is the value of the variable for which the equation is true.
Is this equation linear or nonlinear y0?
linear (A+)
What is a first degree equation?
a linear equation
Why do you clear fractions in a linear equation?
Multiply every term in the equation by a common denominator of all the fractions. The least common denominator (if different) will result in smaller numbers that you then have to work with but it is not essential that you use it.
Why do you clear decimals when solving a linear equation?
because you just do!

Why should you clear fractions to solve linear equalities?
You don't have to. Some people find that it makes subsequent calculations easier - but not all do.

What is 306g is equal too 22.5?
It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.It appears to be a linear equation in the variable, g.
How do you figure out if an equation is a linear equation?
An equation is linear if the highest power of the unknown in the equation is 1for example an equation with just a variable to the power one such as x, y and so on is linear but one with x2, y2 and above is not linear
Why are linear equation named linear equation?
Y = 5X - 3It form a linear function; a line.
What are the zeros of a linear equation?
A linear equation can have only one zero and that is the value of the variable for which the equation is true.
Why should you clear fractions and decimals when soloving linear equations?
There is absolutely no REQUIREMENT to do so. It is simply that many people prefer to work with whole numbers.
Is the equation 3s equals 2t linear or nonlinear?
A linear equation has no higher powers than 1. This is linear.
Is linear function the same as linear equations?
No a linear equation are not the same as a linear function. The linear function is written as Ax+By=C. The linear equation is f{x}=m+b.
