Algebra

Post by Ingenuity »

If you have an algebra equation with a fraction times a variable like 2/3p or somthing can you multiply both sides by the reciperacle to get rid of the fraction

I think you can, but i am not sure, my math teacher is Russian or somthing and i cant always understand what she says.

it makes sense, as multiplying 3/2 by 2/3 changes it to 1 times the variable, which is fine
