Main concept
Solve equations with fractions using cross products Cross products mean multiplying in a criss cross pattern
Goal
Isolate the variable x
Inverse operations
Addition and subtraction undo each other Multiplication and division undo each other
Golden rule
Keep the equation balanced Do the same thing to both sides
Check answer
Substitute the value back into the equation
Cross product rule
If a over c = b over d then a times d = c times b
Example
5 over 6 = x over 9 → cross multiply → 5 × 9 = 6x → 45 = 6x → divide by 6 → x = 7.5
