Lesson #6: Solving Rational Equations
Learning Targets
AN6.1: I can determine the solution to a rational equation algebraically and identify any extraneous roots.
Note: There are many different methods that can be used to solve rational equations. The examples in the
Notes section are solved differently than in the videos. Please contact me if you need help with the
material in the lesson.

There are many different methods that can be used to solve rational equations. The video below shows
you how to solve a rational equation by multiplying every term in the equation by the lowest common denominator (LCD). You can verify if your solutions are correct by substituting your possible answers into
the original equation. I would do this using a LS/RS Chart.
