04 - Solve Equations & Inequalities with Fractional Coefficients

In this lesson, you will learn how to solve equations and inequalities that have fractional coefficients. A fractional coefficient means that the number before the variable in an equation is a fraction.

Fractional coefficients can make problems more complex to solve because when moving terms around in the equation you must add and subtract fractions.

You will learn how to do this by solving example problems, getting a common denominator for any fraction coefficients that need to be added.

I got the coolest mathematical epiphany within the first 4 minutes of this video. Thank you so much for your work and videos, man.

You do an amazing job! You are helping me refresh on everything I need for my nursing TEAS exam! Thank you!

[wendytk]

he’s so underrated he explains very well fr

[calaren]

This is great, now how do you cancel denominators when the fractions also have exponents? Do you also multiply the exponents along with the fraction or just the coefficients?

[EtherMusicBox]

Thank you so much for making these video lessons! I cannot tell you how much you have helped with making things click. The way you explain things is very clear and easily digestible. Using the different colored markers for the various steps was also very helpful as well. Again, thank you SO much!

Just wanted to say your channel is extremely helpful! Thank you for this content!

You explain it so well, I will now be able to help my Gr9 son with this concept 🥳

For the first problem, you could FIRST change all the fractions to common denominator 18, thus eliminating all fractions in one fell swoop, by multiplying both sides by 18.

Crystal Clear.
Thank you very much Sir

This guy is a better explainer than my teacher-

[raeiina]

The amount of whiteboards he has is great 😆 clear and awesome vid!!

@mathandscience I am just amazed how you made me love math we are doing a general math class in college for the beginning this is a general class u have to take! you are just amazing teacher how do u do this?i just understand everything everything i love alll your video.Greetings from Curacao/netherlands antilles from the intercontinental university of Curacao!

Why are we not finding the common denominator of x/9+1/6 in the first step since there is a + sign?

[LarryJose-qm]

why is it that when you carry 3t to meet 4t you did not carry -2 to meet 10 meaning grouping unknow together and the numbers together ?

What is there a variable and an exponent on the variable and a fraction

[MrRRSODL]

A simple observation :) when you multiple the right hand side of an equation the presentation might be confused with an exponent... small number on the top right hand side, I tend to write (n) then there's no confusion I'm multiplying by "n"

[christnetwork]

Sorry I'm late but can you please show the way of cross multiplication

[shambhusah]

But sir 2t-1/6=t+2/4+1/3=? By transportation method. You showed it me in systematic method
