ACTIVITY FOR MARCH 16 – 20, 2020

LESSON COVERED BY THIS ACTIVITY:
SOLVING LINEAR EQUATIONS IN FRACTION AND DECIMAL FORM
DIRECTIONS: Read the entire module and answer the activities recorded as Drill and Homework.

Recall:

A linear equation in one variable is an equation that can be written in the standard form

where and are real numbers with

A linear equation in one variable is also called a first-degree equation because its variable has an (implied)
exponent of 1. Some examples of linear equations in standard form are:

 The definition of linear equation contains the phrase “that can be written in the standard form
This suggests that some linear equations may come in nonstandard or disguised form.

Example:

Solving Linear Equations Involving Fractions

Clearing an Equation of Fractions

An equation such as that contains one or more fractions can be cleared of fractions by multiplying
each side by the least common multiple (LCM) of and .

For example, the equation can be cleared of fractions by multiplying each side of equation by the LCM
of 2 and 3 which is 6.

Note: For an equation that contains a single numerical fraction, such as , you can simply add to
each side and then solve for x. (You do not need to clear the fraction by multiplying each side of the equation by the
LCM of 1 and 4).

 Example 2:

A common type of linear equation is one that equates two fractions. To solve such an equation, consider
the fractions to be equivalent and use cross multiplication. That is if , then .

Note: Cross multiplication can be used only with equations written in a form that equates two fractions.

Solving Linear Equations Involving Decimals

Many real-life applications of linear equations involve decimal coefficients. To solve such an
equation, you can clear it of decimals in much the same way you clear an equation of fractions. Multiply each
side by a power of 10 that converts all decimal coefficients to integers.
