It is easier to deal with whole numbers in an equation than with fractions.
To clear the fractions out of the equation, follow these STEPS:
1. Identify all the fractions in the equation that are not inside grouping symbols.
2. Find the LCD of these fractions.3. Multiply both sides of the equation by the LCD.4. Solve as usual.

Clearing the decimalsClearing the decimals It is easier to deal with whole numbers in an
equation than with decimals.
To clear the decimals out of the equation, follow these STEPS:
1. Identify all the decimals in the equation that are not inside grouping symbols.
2. Find the term with the most digits to the right of the decimal point.
3. Multiply both sides of the equation by the power of 10 that will make that term a whole number.
4. Solve as usual.

4x –.24 = .56 – .8x4x –.24 = .56 – .8x There are There are 22 places to places to the right of the the right of the
decimal point in 2 of the decimal point in 2 of the terms. So, multiply terms. So, multiply both both sides of the equation sides of the equation by by 110000..
100100 [4x - .24] = [.56 – .8x] [4x - .24] = [.56 – .8x] 100100

multiply both sides of multiply both sides of the equation by the equation by 11000000..
