 5A Lesson Worksheet 1.3A (Refer to Book 5A P.1.22)

Objective: To solve fractional equations which can be transformed into quadratic equations.

Steps of Solving Fractional Equations


Step 1: Express each fraction with the same denominator, which is the L.C.M. of the denominators in the
fractions.
Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by the L.C.M. to eliminate all the denominators.

 2  3
Solve 1 +  (3 + x) = –2. Solve (x + 4) 1 −  = 5.
 x  x
 2
1 +  (3 + x) = –2 x≠0
 x
 2
x 1 +  (3 + x) = –2x Multiply both sides by x.
 x
(x + 2)(3 + x) = –2x
x2 + 5x + 6 = –2x
x2 + 7x + 6 = 0 Remember to check
(x + 1)(x + 6) = 0 whether the answers
obtained satisfy the
x = –1 or –6  original equation.

– =1  x ≠ 0 and x ≠ 2.
x−2 x
3 x − 2( x − 2 )
=1  Step 1: The denominator
x( x − 2 ) x(x – 2) is the
L.C.M. of x and
3x – 2(x – 2) = x(x – 2) 
x – 2.
3x – 2x + 4 = x2 – 2x Step 2: Multiply
both sides
x2 – 3x – 4 = 0 by x(x – 2).
(x + 1)(x – 4) = 0
x = –1 or 4
