Lesson 3-2

           In chapter 3-2 we learned about how to get rid of fractions and decimals in an equation. Also, we learned the steps for solving a Multi-step equation. First, you clear the equation of fractions and decimals. Second, you use the distributive property to remove parentheses on each side. Third, you combine like terms. Fourth, you undo any addition and subtraction. Lastly, you undo any multiplication and division. To clear the equation of fractions you find the common denominator of the two fractions, and then you add the numerators of both. To clear the equation of decimals you have to multiply both sides by a power of 10.
