HOW TO SOLVE
To solve the following equation there is a need to know about fractions. Fractions, are problems in
division stated as a problem. Below is a step-by-step analysis on how to solve the problem. Let us
take problems Number 1 and number 12 as examples.
SOLVING FOR #1
๐ฅ
2+11 =19
(๐)(๐ฅ
๐+11) = (19)(๐)
๐ฅ + 22 =38
๐ฅ = 38 โ 22
๐ฅ = 16
SOLVING FOR #12
๐ฅ + 3
8= โ2
(๐)(๐ฅ+3
๐) = (โ2)(8)
๐ฅ + 3 = โ16
๐ฅ = โ16โ3
๐ฅ = โ19
โข Solve for x wherein one side has a fraction.
โข Remove the fraction by multiplying both sides by the denominator. Take
not that when you eliminate a fraction, the WHOLE EQUATION must be
multiplied by the denominator.
โข After multiplying, ISOLATE x by deducting both sides by 22.
โข Add the similar terms
For example. POSITIVE PLUS NEGATIVE
38 + (-22)
โข The answer is ๐ = ๐๐
โข Use the same procedure in problem #1
โข ELIMINATE the FRACTION by multiplying both sides by 8.
โข ADD the numbers
โข The answer is ๐ = โ๐๐
