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.

You can basically use the same methods you use for equations with whole numbers. However, it is easier if you multiply both sides by a common denominator first.
