In this video we learn how to solve equations with fraction or decimal coefficients. The steps for how to solve equations with fraction or decimal coefficients are as follows...

1. Find the least common denominator (LCD) of all the fractions and decimals (in fraction form) in the equation.
2. Multiply both sides of the equation by that LCD. This clears the fractions and decimals.
3. Solve using the General Strategy for Solving Linear Equations.
