Solve it as you would normally. I could help if I had the equation. :)
Fractions don't really change much; they just make the problem look more difficult.
Standard Form
That depends how you plan to solve it - there are several methods. But usually you would start by arranging the equation in "standard form", meaning that on the right of the equal sign, you only have zero.
A standard form of a linear equation would be: ax + by = c
If you solve such an equation for "y", you get an equation in the slope-intercept form.
You cannot solve a single linear equation in two variables, x and y. You need two independent equations.
Solve the equation for ' y '.
Standard Form
To be able to write the equation of a line in standard form. In particular, our book would not have cleared the fraction.
2x+3y-5=0
Here is how you solve this. You call your number "x", and write:x = 0.5454... 100x = 54.5454... Then you subtract the first equation from the second, and solve the resulting equation for "x". This will give you "x" as a fraction. Simplify as appropriate.

It depends on the form of the equation.
There is more than one "standard form". If the equation is not already solved for "y", solve it for "y". In that case, you'll get an equation of the following form (known as "slope-intercept form"): y = mx + b Where "m" is the slope of the line, and "b" is the y-intercept (the point where the line intercepts the y-axis).
You can put the equation into slope-intercept form and the answer is right there, or you can put it in standard form and make the x coefficient and x "disappear" and solve the equation by dividing the number with y by the number on the other side of the equation.
