HELP How do you slove a two step equation with fractions involved?

I hope that this is what you are looking for

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the following question as an example,

Start by adding 1/4 to both sides.

To add both 1/6 and 1/4 together we must have a common denomitor.

The common denominator for 1/6 and 1/4 is 12

Multiple to get the common denomiators

Now we can add the fractions.

To get the x by itself we can either multiple by the reciprobcal of 2/3 or multiple by 3 and then divide by 2

The left side will become x as 3/2 and 2/3 cancel each other out

Multiple the right side to get a value for x

or

If you notice we can simplfy the fraction to 5/8

no this is a nonlinear negative

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3
