Solving Equations Containing

First, we will look at solving these problems algebraically. Here is an example that we will do together using two different methods.

The best way to solve a rational equation: This can be done by multiplying each side of the equation by the LCD.

What is the LCD? (x+2)(x-5)

It is VERY important that you check your answers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Check:

The other method of solving rational equations is cross-multiplication.

Here is another example that we will do together:

This denominator can be factored into 3(x-2) Step 1: Find the LCD Hint: Factor the denominator Therefore….

Step 2: Multiply both sides of equation by LCD. This eliminates the fraction. 6(x-2)

Step 3: Solve for x

Since there are two answers, there needs to be two checks. Let x =

Check #2: Let x = 2 When you check the number 2, you get a zero in the denominator. This means that 2 can not be a solution.

Now, you do these on your own.
