Example:. Find the GCF. THEN, Multiply both sides by the GCF. (y+3) y+3 ( ) y+3 Then distribute the (y+3) to each side and simplify. y+3 ( ) y+3 Now simplify Like terms + 4 + 4. Move everything to one side.

Example: • Find the GCF. THEN, Multiply both sides by the GCF. (y+3) y+3 ( ) y+3 • Then distribute the (y+3) to each side and simplify. y+3 ( ) y+3 • Now simplify Like terms +4 +4
Move everything to one side. Check for extraneous solutions So…. Y=4 Check: NO SOLUTION
Example: • FIND THE GCF(GREATEST COMMON FACTOR). • Then distribute to both sides to clear the fraction. • SIMPLIFY. • Move everything to one side.
FIND A GCF(if there is one) and FACTOR IT OUT. (-2x) • SOLVE FOR X. /2 /2 -1 -1
