How to solve an equation with fractions of a two step equation

The video tutorial explains how to solve an equation involving fractions with different denominators. It begins by introducing the problem and discussing the challenge of different denominators. The teacher demonstrates how to eliminate these denominators by multiplying by the least common multiple. The process is broken down into steps, showing how to simplify the equation and solve for the variable. The tutorial concludes with the final solution and a brief discussion on representing the answer in different forms.

What is the initial approach discussed for dealing with fractions having different denominators?

• Multiplying each term by its own denominator

• Adding all the denominators together

• Dividing each term by the largest denominator

• Ignoring the denominators

What is the least common multiple of the denominators 4, 2, and 8?

• 2

• 4

• 16

• 8

How do you simplify the equation by using the least common multiple?

• Divide each term by the LCM

• Add the LCM to each term

• Multiply each term by the LCM

• Subtract the LCM from each term

What is the next step after simplifying the equation to solve for the variable?

• Subtract the constant from both sides

• Add the variable to both sides

• Multiply the variable by 2

• Divide by the coefficient of the variable

What is the final value of the variable n in the equation?

• 1/2

• 1/4

• 1

• 3/4
