1 step equations Rational Coefficients

One Step equations with rational coefficients

Fractions in front of the variable

The goal of ANY equation

​Isolate the variable by doing the inverse operation.

Keep the equation ballanced by doing it to BOTH SIDES of the equal sign

The "easy" way to solve

​Use Multiplicitave Inverse

​

AKA: flip the fraction and multiply to both sides​

Multiple Choice

$$\frac{5}{9}x=\frac{1}{3}$$  

• $$\frac{5}{3}$$  

• 3

• $$\frac{3}{5}$$  

• 5

Another way to solve

​1) multiply both sides by the denominator

2) Divide both sides by the numerator
