7.3 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions
Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.
For example : 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent, y/(y+1)2 and (y2+y)/(y+1)3 are equivalent as well.
To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

When a fraction equals zero :
10.1 When a fraction equals zero ...Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.
Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.
Here's how:
-2•(15y-7) —————————— • 10 = 0 • 10 10 Now, on the left hand side, the 10 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.
The equation now takes the shape:
-2 • (15y-7)=0
Equations which are never true:
10.2Solve:-2=0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
10.3Solve:15y-7 = 0Add 7 to both sides of the equation:
15y = 7
Divide both sides of the equation by 15:
y = 7/15 = 0.467
One solution was found :
y = 7/15 = 0.467
