2. Warm Up Y=
Y= 51.06
X = 49.4
K= 8.164

3. Solving Equations with Fractions
Isolate the “y” by subtracting 2/7 from each side.
Isolate the “x” by adding 2/5 to both sides. We found a common denominator and renamed our fractions so we could add them.

4. To isolate the variable you need to divide both sides by 2/3. When you divide fractions you multiply by the reciprocal so we multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2.
To isolate the variable you have to subtract 8 and multiply by 5/2.

6. Closure
How is solving equations with decimals and fractions different than equations with integers? How are they alike?
