Solving linear equations with brackets

In this video you will learn how to solve linear equations with brackets. You will learn that you first need to simplify the equation by expanding the brackets. Afterwards you need to simplify and solve the equation. 

Solving linear equations with fractions

In this video you will learn how to solve equations with fractions. Those are not the fractional equations where you can use cross-multiplying. 

Solving fractional equations (cross-multiplying)

In this video you will learn how to solve fractional equations when using the cross-multiplying method. Please use the method that you prefer! The other method that you could use is finding the lowest common denominator and then equating the numerators. 

Solving fractional equations (lowest common denominator)

In this video you will learn how to solve fractional equations. You will use the method where you first find the lowest common denominator and then you equate the numerators. Please use the method that you prefer. You can also use the method where you use cross-multiplication.
