Solving a linear equation with multiple fractions

The video tutorial explains how to solve equations with fractions by eliminating the fractions using the least common denominator (LCD). It begins with an introduction to the concept of fractions in equations and the discomfort they cause. The teacher then explains how to find the LCD and use it to simplify the equation by multiplying each term. The process of simplifying terms by dividing with the LCD is demonstrated, followed by solving the simplified equation. The tutorial concludes with a solved example, making the process clearer and easier to understand.

What is the primary goal when solving equations with fractions?

• To add more fractions

• To multiply the fractions

• To change the fractions to decimals

• To eliminate the fractions
