Multiple Brackets
For equations with more than one bracket, you will need to :
 * expand the brackets
 * simplify by collecting like terms
 * then solve as usual

** Example 1 **
math \textbf{(a)} \quad \text{Solve : } 6 \big( x+3 \big) -2 \big( 2x-1 \big) = 22 math



Algebraic Fractions
For equations with algebraic fractions, you will need to:
 * write every term as a fraction with the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD)
 * then multiply each side of the equation by the LCD {this will remove all the fractions}
 * then solve as usual

** Example 2 **
math \textbf{(a)} \quad \text{Solve : } \dfrac{x}{2} + \dfrac{x-3}{3} = \dfrac{5}{2} math

... ... First change each fraction to get a lowest common denominator
