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 it true It is impossible to solve an equation that contains both decimals and fractions?
No, it is not impossible because you can convert fractions into decimal and vice versa
When do you cross multiply to solve an equation?
When doing fractions, you may cross multiply.
Solving equations with fractions 2-6?

How do you solve an equation where x is a numerator?
You would normally start by multiplying both sides of the equation by whatever is in the DENOMINATOR (the bottom part of the fraction), to get rid of fractions.
How could you eliminate the fractions before proceeding to solve this equation?
You can eliminate the fractions before proceeding to solve the equation to allow for easy factorization.
How do you eliminate the fractions of LCd?
This can be done in an equation only. Multiply the entire equation by the LCD. This cancels every denominator leaving an equation with no fractions. EX: x/3 + 2/5 = 3/4 so the LCD for 3,5, and 4 is 60 60(x/3) + 60(2/5) = 60(3/4) 20(x) + 12(2) = 15(3) no more fractions, just solve.
Find the LCD that would eliminate the fractions in this equation 5x divide 7 plus 1 divide 14 equals 7 divide 28?
28 in this case.
How would decide what to do first when solving an equation involving fractions?
Eradicate the fractions.
What is the equation for Standard Form?
Ax+By=C A- Cannot be negative Equation- Cannot have decimals or fractions in it
How is solving an equation containing decimals similar to solving an equation containing fractions?
Fractions and decimals that represent the same value are equivalent. For example, 1//4 and 0.25 are equivalent.

What is y2x-5 eliminated?

The elimination method is useful when you can eliminate one of the variable terms from an equation by adding or subtracting another equation?
True
How might you eliminate the y-term from the top equation?
It's done! Not only that but the whole equation has been eliminated!
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.
If two fraction are the same what is it called?
Two fractions that are the same are called equivalent fractions. Example: 4/5 and 8/10. When two fractions are set equal to each other in an equation, that equation is called a proportion: 4/5 = x/10
