I think the fraction symbol didn’t come through. To clear fractions you multiply both sides by the least common denominator (LCD) of all fractional coefficients.

So if the equation is (a/b)x + y = 4, multiply by b. For example:
- If it was (1/3)x + y = 4, multiply by 3.
- If it was (3/5)x + y = 4, multiply by 5.
Tell me the intended fraction and I’ll give the exact number.
