• 12

• 4

In the equation 1/2 X + 1/4 = 1/3 X + 5/4, what should you multiply both sides by to clear the fractions?

• 4

• 3

• 6

• 12

To clear the decimals in the equation 0.35X + 0.2 = 0.15X + 0.1, what should you multiply both sides by?

• 0.01

• 0.1

• 100

• 10

After clearing the decimals in the equation 0.35X + 0.2 = 0.15X + 0.1, what is the next step?

• Multiply both sides by 10

• Add 0.2 to both sides
