Understanding Standard Form and Fractions

The video tutorial introduces the concept of standard form in equations, where X and Y are on the same side. It explains the role of coefficients and demonstrates how to rearrange an equation to achieve standard form. The tutorial covers eliminating fractions by multiplying the entire equation by the denominators and simplifying the result to remove fractions, ensuring the equation is in standard form.

What is the main characteristic of the standard form of an equation?

• It always includes fractions.

• X and Y are on opposite sides.

• X and Y are on the same side.

• It only uses capital letters.

What are the numbers in front of the variables in an equation called?

• Constants

• Coefficients

• Fractions

• Denominators

What operation is used to move a term from one side of an equation to the other?

• Division

• Multiplication

• Addition

• Subtraction

How do you eliminate fractions from an equation?

• Add the denominators

• Divide by the numerators

• Subtract the numerators

• Multiply by the denominators
