Since –2 is an excluded value; Solution is just 0 Plug 0 back into the original equation to verify the solution is correct. Solving Rational Equations in One Variable Solving a Rational Equation SolutionSolution Continued

Lehmann, Elementary and Intermediate Algebra, 1edSection 12.5Slide 11 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. To solve a rational equation in one variable, 1. Factor the denominator(s) if possible. 2. Identify any excluded values. 3.Find the LCD of all of the fractions. 4. Multiply both sides of the equation by the LCD, which gives a simpler equation to solve. 5. Solve the simpler equation. 6. Discard any proposed solutions that are excluded values.

Lehmann, Elementary and Intermediate Algebra, 1edSection 12.5Slide 14 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. To solve a rational equation, clear the fractions in it by multiplying both sides of the equation by the LCD. To simplify a rational expression, do not multiply it by the LCD—the only multiplication permissible is multiplication by 1, usually in the form A/A, where A is a nonzero polynomial.
