Question

Rewrite The equation below so that does it does not have fractionsDo not use decimals in your answer - x =

Answer 1

In order to remove the fractions from the equation, we can multiply the whole equation by a constant value.

Since the greater denominator is 12, and it is multiple of the other denominators, we can multiply the equation by 12.

So we have:

`\begin{gathered} 2-(3)/(4)x=(5)/(12)\\ \\ 12(2-(3)/(4)x)=12((5)/(12))\\ \\ 24-9x=5 \end{gathered}`

So the rewritten equation is 24 - 9x = 5
