Answer:
A rational equation An equation containing at least one rational expression. is an equation containing at least one rational expression. ... Solve rational equations by clearing the fractions by multiplying both sides of the equation by the least common denominator (LCD). Example 1: Solve: 5x−13=1x 5 x − 1 3 = 1 x .
Step-by-step explanation:
One way of solving rational equations with unlike denominators is to multiply both sides of the equation by the least common multiple of the denominators of all the fractions contained in the equation. This eliminates the denominators and turns the rational equation into a polynomial equation.
The steps to solve a rational equation are:
Find the common denominator.
Multiply everything by the common denominator.
Simplify.
