Question

Explain how the distributive property can be used to eliminate the fractions in the equations

Answer 1

x= −1/95

Explanation:

1. Subtract 110x from both sides.

15x + 8 − 110x = 110x + 9 − 110x

−95x + 8 = 9

2. Subtract 8 from both sides;

−95x + 8 − 8 = 9 − 8

−95x = 1

3. Divide both sides by -95;

x= −1/95
