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.
You cannot solve fractions. There may be sums or products containing fractions or equations that can be solved. But fractions themselves cannot.
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.
Not necessarily, but often it is simpler to convert fractions into decimals to solve the equation.
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.
The only possible method is: One step at a time.
By eliminating the fractions

The details really depend on the equation. It often helps to multiply all parts of the equation by a common denominator, to get rid of the fractions.
Tell me the equations first.
There are people who use this web site that can and will solve equations.
You can use a graph to solve systems of equations by plotting the two equations to see where they intersect
I am not sure what you mean with "two step"; also, the details depend on solving equations depend on the specific equation. However, one thing you can often do to simplify equations with fractions is multiply left and right by the common denominator of all fractions - that way, you get rid of the fractions. Here is an example: (1/2)x + 3 = (2/3)x + 5 If you multiply both sides by 6, you'll get rid of the fractions (only whole numbers remain); this makes the equation easier to solve: 3x + 18 = 4x + 30
