Solving Equations with Rational Expressions
Some equations involve rational expressions. With solving such equations, we would first want
to multiply each term by the least common multiple of each denominator in order to “clear” the
fraction component of the problem. You will see then that the equation becomes just like those
previously solved. Just be sure to double check for extraneous solutions – those that cause the
fraction to be undefined. Recall that undefined is when the denominator is equal to 0.
If the equation is a proportion (one rational expression on each side of the equal sign), then you
can also use the method of cross-multiplication.
Examples: Solve for x in each equation.
