Could someone help me with Rational Equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ y-1 } + \frac{ 2 }{ y+1} =0\]

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

multiply each term by the LCD (y-1)(y+1) so y + 1 + 2(y - 1) = 0 the rest is easy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

yw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 2 }{ x-3 } - \frac{ 3 }{ x+3} = \frac{ 12 }{ x ^{2} - 9 } \]

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

x^2 - 9 = (x + 3)(x - 3) so LCD is (x-3)(x+3) - proceed as above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 6-x} + \frac{ 2 }{ x+3 } = \frac{ 5x }{ x ^{2} - 3x-18 }\]

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

can you factor x^2−3x−18?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya
