What we're being asked to do is to come up with a set of steps that would help us solve a linear equation.
00:06
Well, when you're thinking about when you solve a linear equation, the first thing is, if you see parentheses, you should remove them using distributed property.
00:14
So step one would be to remove parentheses by using the distributed property.
00:28
So that's the first thing that you always want to do.
00:30
You always want to get rid of your parentheses first.
00:33
Well, from there, the next thing i always look for is do i have any fractures? and if so, i eliminate them by multiplying each side of my equation by my common denominator.
00:43
So then we want to eliminate fractions.
00:47
Eliminate fractions.
00:49
And again, you do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by your common denominator...
