Simplifying equations involves three steps.
• Getting rid of fractions.– To get rid of a fraction from
an equation multiply each term by the LCD.
• Getting rid of parentheses.– To get rid of parentheses
from an equation, distribute.
• Getting rid of like terms that are on the same side of the equal sign.– Combine like terms by
adding or subtracting using your integer rules.
This lesson focuses onthis part.

Ex. 1 To SIMPLIFY use this checklist.
• Any fractions?– NO
• Any ( )– NO
• Any like terms– YES – use integer
rules.
• Now SOLVE

Ex. 2To SIMPLIFY use this
checklist.
• Any fractions?– NO
• Any ( )– NO
• Any like terms– YES – Combine
them using Integer rules.
• Now ISOLATE the variable
• and SOLVE

Ex. 3To SIMPLIFY use this
checklist.• Any fractions?
– NO
• Any ( )– NO
• Any like terms– NO
• So ISOLATE the variables. Get them together on the same side
• Now SOLVE– And reduce
