Fraction Equations GCSE Maths
Fraction equations appear regularly in GCSE Maths and are often tested in algebra and worded problems.
Example
Solve:
x/5 + 4 = 10
Subtract 4:
x/5 = 6
Multiply by 5:
x = 30
Exam tip: Many students find fraction equations easier after removing the denominator first.
Common mistake: Students sometimes forget to multiply the entire equation.
