Learn how to get rid of a fraction first to solve a literal equation c= (2d+1)/3 for d

The video tutorial explains how to solve a literal equation by addressing common student concerns about fractions. The instructor demonstrates eliminating fractions by multiplying both sides of the equation, simplifying it, and using inverse operations to solve it step-by-step. The lesson concludes with a verification of the solution.

What is the first step suggested by the teacher to handle fractions in a literal equation?

• Add the numerator to both sides

• Divide both sides by the numerator

• Subtract the denominator from both sides

• Multiply both sides by the denominator

After eliminating the fraction, what form does the equation take?

• 3C = 2D + 1

• 2D = 3C + 1

• 3C = D + 2

• 2D = C + 3

What operation is used to isolate the variable D in the equation 3C = 2D + 1?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

• Division

What is the final expression for D after solving the equation?

• D = 3C - 1 / 2

• D = 2C + 1 / 3

• D = 3C + 1 / 2

• D = 2C - 1 / 3

Which mathematical concept is primarily used to solve the literal equation in the tutorial?

• Direct Proportion

• Inverse Operations

• Quadratic Formula

• Pythagorean Theorem
