Solving Fraction Equations

The video tutorial explains how to solve algebraic equations using two methods: distribution and division, and handling equations with fractions. The first part focuses on distributing a number into parentheses or dividing both sides to simplify the equation. The second part deals with isolating variables in equations with fractions, using cross-multiplication to find the solution. The tutorial provides step-by-step guidance to help learners understand and apply these methods effectively.

What are the two methods mentioned for solving the initial equation?

• Multiplying and dividing

• Adding and subtracting

• Distributing and dividing

• Distributing and subtracting

What operation is performed to both sides of the equation to simplify it initially?

• Dividing by 4

• Multiplying by 4

• Adding 4

• Subtracting 4

After dividing by 4, what is the next step in solving the equation?

• Dividing by 10

• Subtracting 10

• Adding 10

• Multiplying by 10

What is the result of solving the equation after moving the 10?

• n = -1

• n = 1

• n = 10

• n = 0

What is the first step in solving the equation with a fraction?

• Subtract 10 from both sides

• Add 10 to both sides

• Multiply both sides by 40

• Divide both sides by 40

How do you isolate the variable in the fraction equation?

• Add 10 to both sides

• Subtract 10 from both sides

• Multiply by 40

• Divide by 40

What is the result of the cross multiplication in the fraction equation?

• X = 2

• X = 80

• X = 40

• X = 20

What is the final value of X in the fraction equation?

• X = 80

• X = 20

• X = 40

• X = 2

What is the purpose of writing a one under the whole number in the fraction equation?

• To divide fractions
