Solving Equations with Fractional Coefficients

The video tutorial explains how to solve multi-step equations with fractional coefficients. It covers two main methods: simplifying fractions by multiplying by the denominator and using like denominators to solve equations. The instructor demonstrates each method step-by-step, emphasizing the importance of simplifying fractions and using multiplication or reciprocals to eliminate them. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the steps involved in solving such equations.

What is the main focus of the video tutorial?

• Solving equations with whole numbers

• Solving quadratic equations

• Solving multi-step equations with fractional coefficients

• Solving linear equations with one variable

What is the first step in solving equations with fractional coefficients?

• Adding fractions

• Multiplying by the variable

• Simplifying by removing fractions

• Dividing by the coefficient

How can you eliminate fractions in an equation?

• Add the fractions

• Multiply by the denominator

• Subtract the fractions

• Divide by the numerator

What is the denominator used in the first method to eliminate fractions?

• 4

• 3

• 5

• 2

What happens to the fractions when you multiply by the denominator?

• They double

• They remain the same

• They become negative

• They cancel out

What is the result of adding 18 to both sides of the equation 4V - 18 = 18?

• 4V = 54

• 4V = 18

• 4V = 36

• 4V = 0

What is the equation after adding 2V to both sides in Method 1?

• 2V - 18 = 18

• 8V - 18 = 18

• 6V - 18 = 18

• 4V - 18 = 18

What is the advantage of having like denominators in an equation?

• It simplifies the addition process

• It requires more steps

• It makes the equation longer

What is the first step in Method 2 for solving equations?

• Multiplying by the denominator

• Subtracting fractions

• Adding like fractions

• Dividing by the variable

What is the equation after adding 6 to both sides in Method 2?

• 4/3 V - 6 = 6

• 4/3 V = 24

• 4/3 V = 18

• 4/3 V = 12
