you need to know about theorem 3-3(Converse of the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem) which is: if alternate interior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel. Also Theorem 3-5 which is: if two lines are parallel to the same line, then they are parallel to each other. And lastly theorem 3-6 would be needed which is: In a plane, if two lines are perpendicular to the same line, then they are parallel to each other.

If two lines are parallel to each the same line, they are parallel, if two lines are perpendicular to the same line, they are parallel, and if two lines and a transversal form same-side interior angles that are supplementary, then the two lines are parrllel

You clear a fraction by multiplying it's reciprocal and when the fraction can turn the problem " ugly."

Or just when you want to simplify the equation

to clear a fraction you multiply the fraction by its reciprocal and you clear it when you have an equasion and want a whole #

Three important things to know about parallel lines are that:
1. Postulate 3-1
If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then corresponding angles are congruent.
2. Theorem 3-1
If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then alternate interior angles are congruent.
3. Theorem 3-2
If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then same-side interior angles are supplementary.

You should clear a fraction when you are solving multi-step equations. You clear them by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal.

You would clear it when your problem will become 'ugly' and you do that by multiplying by its reciprocal.

Just a guess but postulate 3-1, theorem 3-1, and theorem 3-2. Postulate 3-1 is "If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then corresponding angles are congruent." Theorem 3-1 is "If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then alternate interior angles are congruent." Theorem 3-2 is "If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then same-sided interior angles are supplementary." Sorry for really long answer.

When should you clear a fraction and how?

You should clear a fraction when you are trying to find what number the variable is. You clear a fraction by multiplying it (the fraction) by the least common denominator.

1. Alternate interior angles are congruent.
2. Same-side interior angles are supplementary.
3. Corresponding angles are on the same side of the transversal and in corresponding positions.

3 important things to know about parallel lines are:
1. Postulate 3-2 If two lines and a tranversal form corresponding angles that are congruent, then the 2 lines are parallel.
2. Theorem 3-3 If 2 lines and a tranversal form alternate interior angles that are congruent, then the 2 lines are parallel.
3. Theorem 3-4 If 2 lines and a transversal form same-side interior angles that = 180, then the 2 lines are parallel.

1. if 2 lines and a transversal form corresponding angles that are congruent , then the two lines are parallel. (Postulate 3-2)

2. if two lines and a transversal form alternate interior angles that are congruent, then the two lines are parallel. (Theorem 3-3)

3. if two lines and a transversal form same-side interior angles that are supplementary,then the two lines are parallel. (Theorem 3-4)

to clear a fraction, you are eliminating the fraction part of the equation. to do that, you have to find the least common denominator of the fraction (on the lower number.) once you find the common denominator, you have to multiply that number on every part of the whole equation. then, all the fractions are cleared from the equation, and it isn't ugly.!!
you clear a fraction when the equation is an ugly equation with lots of fractions. and you have to do it the first step because otherwise, your problem will be ugly and harder to solve! (:

You'd clear a fraction by its reciprocal and when the problem will become 'ugly'.

1. Identify transversal of the parallel line to find each measure of all angles to see how they correspond.

2. Use properties of parallel lines- each theorem and postulate.

3. Use transversal to see if two lines are parallel to each other in order to be able to solve angle measures.

When doing a proof, it's important to know what a transversal is, how to identify the different angles(same-side interior, corresponding, or alternate interior), and the Postulate 3-1.

You should clear a fraction when you look at a problem with a fraction and if using the fraction would make the problem "ugly" than you find the LCD or least common denominator of the fractions.
