SOLVING

RATIONAL
EQUATIONS
Presented By Genalyn P.
Mateo
RATIONAL
EQUATION
it is an equation
involving rational
expressions.
STEPS:
1

[Link] the least common denominator (LCD).


The LCD is actually the least common multiple
(LCM) of the denominator. s
[Link] both sides of the equation by the LCD.
[Link] the equation.
[Link] the solution.
e.g. 1. Solve for x
in
1

the
equation
LCD = 5(4x+3)
5(4X+3)
1

5(7X + 12) = 2(4X + 3)


5(7x + 12) = 2(4x + 3)
35x + 60 = 8x + 6
1

35x – 8x = 6 – 60
27x = -54
x = -2
Checking:
1
2. Solve for x in the
equation
Solution:

LCD = (x-5)(x-1)
(x-5)(x-1)
Solution:
(2x+6)(x-1) = (x+3)(x-5)
2
Solution:

By factoring:
(x + 3)(x + 3) = 0
x+3=0 ; x+3=0
x = -3 x = -3
Solution:

By Quadratic Formula:
a = 1, b = 6, c = 9
x=
x=
x=
x=
x=
= ; =
= -3 = -3
Checking:

0=0
3. Solve for x in the
equation
Solution:

LCD = (x + 5)(x – 5)
(x + 5)(x – 5)
x – 3 + 1(x – 5) = 1(x + 5)
x–3+x–5=x+5
2x – x = 5 + 8
x = 13
Checking:
Checking:
4. Solve for x in the
equation
Solution:

LCD = 10x
5 + 6x = 5x
1(5)

6x – 5x = - 5
x = -5
Checking:
