Question

how do i solve solving linear equations by multiplying first

Answer 1

if you have an equation with fractions it helps to eliminate the fractions by multiplying by a common denominator. preferably multiply by the least common denominator, LCD

x/3 + y/6 = 1/9

multiply by 18

6x +3y = 2

3y = -6x +2

y = -2x +2/3 in slope intercept form, slope=-2, intercept = 2/3
