Algebra 1 honors 10.14 Solving Rational Equations (Honors Only) Part 1: Explain how you calculate the restricted value(s) of x for the equation x+3/x+5 +x/6=5/6 and what those value(s) represent. Part 2: Explain which method (cross-multiplication or LCD) you would use to solve the equation and why. Part 3: Using complete sentences, explain the steps to solve the equation using the method you chose in step 2. Provide the solution to the equation. Help me , please ?
1) To find the restrictions, look at what x value would make any of the denominators 0, because you can't divide by 0.
2) The LCD in this case would be 6(x+5)
3) - Multiply equation by LCD - Solve for x like a quadratic - Check the solutions, make sure they're not one of the restrictions.
