If there is only 1 fraction in the equation:
1st: Multiply EVERY piece of the equation by the denominator of that fraction.
2nd: The fraction will disappear and you can proceed as usual!

If there are 2 or more fractions in the equation:
1st: Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of all of the denominators
2nd: Multiply EVERY piece of the equation by the LCD
*Remember to put all (binomials in parentheses) before multiplying!
3rd: Simplify and solve!
