Generally, you are told to approach these by "clearing fractions". That is, you generally multiply the equations by the least common denominator so all fractions and mixed numbers become integers.

Alternatively, you can simply do the arithmetic using the numbers given. You learned a long time ago how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide mixed numbers and fractions. Do these operations as necessary to solve the equations.
