Solve Two Step Equations with Fractions and Decimals

How does the method for solving equations with fractional or decimal coefficients and constants compare with the method for solving equations with integer coefficients and constants?

• The methods are essentially the same. There is no difference.

• The methods are essentially the same. The only extra step is that you begin solving by eliminating the fractions or the decimals from the equation.

• The methods are essentially the same. The only extra step is that you begin solving for the fractions or the decimals from the equation.
