OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i get the fractions to go away?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, lets first collect like terms, can you show us that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you collect like terms, as manwing mentioned put numbers on one side and fractions on the other, then you just add/ subtract the fractions as you would normally.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not fractions I meant x's*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is number 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now just add/subtract everything up and then isolate x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2}+3-\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } = 2x+x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isnt it 13/12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I see, you're having trouble with adding/ subtracting fractions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For fractions you have to find a common denominator then you can add, I'll come help later, I have to go right now, good luck c ya.
