Solving a rational equation that simplifies to quadratic: Binomial denominators, constant numerators

Here we solve a rational equation by multiplying each of the terms in the equation by the LCD of all of the fractions. This allows us to divide to one all of the factors in the denominators and the…

Solving a rational equation that simplifies to linear: Like binomial denominators

This has two examples so that you can learn to watch out for what looks like a solution but is not because it creates division by zero if you check the answer in the original equation. The other…
