a) Eliminate denominators by multiplying each term of the equation by the
least common denominator.

skills #1 Solution:
The LCD of all denominators is 10x. Multiply both sides of the equation by
10x and solve the resulting equation.

Example 2. Solve for x:

Solution:
Factor each denominator in the fraction. The LCD is (x-2)(x+2).

Upon reaching this step, we can use the strategies in solving for polynomial
equations.

Expound the explanation by saying:

Check for extraneous solutions by substituting the answers back into the
original equation. Since x = 2will make the original equation undefined, it is
an extraneous solution. Since x = 5 satisfies the original equation, it is the
only solution

E. Discussing new
concepts and To solve rational inequalities:
practicing new (a) Rewrite the inequality as a single rational expression on one side of the
skills #2 inequality symbol and 0 on the other side.
(b) Determine over what intervals the rational expression takes on
positive and negative values.

i. Locate the x values for which the rational expression is zero or

undefined (factoring the numerator and denominator is a useful
strategy).
ii. Mark the numbers found in (i) on a number line. Use a shaded circle
to indicate that the value is included in the solution set, and a hollow
circle to indicate that the value is excluded. These numbers partition
the number line into intervals.
iii. Select a test point within the interior of each interval in (ii). The sign of
the rational expression at this test point is also the sign of the rational
expression at each interior point in the aforementioned interval.
iv. Summarize the intervals containing the solutions.

games should they win in a row to improve their win percentage to 60%.
Solution:
Let x represent the number of games that they need to win to raise their
percentage to 60%. The team has already won 12 out of their 25 games. If
they win x games in a row to increase their percentage to 60%, then they
would
have played 12+x games out of their 25+x games. The equation is
12+ x
=0.6 .
25+ x
The equation is a rational equation.
