1. The problem is to simplify expressions or equations by eliminating fractions. 2. To remove a fraction from an equation, multiply both sides of the equation by the denominator to clear the fraction. 3. For example, if we have $\frac{a}{b} = c$, multiplying both sides by $b$ gives $a = bc$ without fractions. 4. If there are multiple fractions, find the least common denominator (LCD) and multiply the entire equation by the LCD to clear all fractions. 5. This process converts the equation into an equivalent form without fractions, simplifying further operations.
